If he’s going to make comments like that, he should just move to the USA. I think he’d be more comfortable there.
I’m referring specifically to talking about the “silent majority”. It sounds like the kind of thing somebody would say in between voting for the current President.
Re: that intersection, I wonder if it would work to re-route West Ave. to run parallel to the trail and end at Victoria, with Strange St. simply ending at Victoria instead of continuing through to West Ave. as it does now. Do we really need Park/Strange/West as a semi-thoroughfare? If this were done the trail would cross at the intersection of Victoria and West which presumably would have a traffic light. Alternately the right turn from Victoria onto West could be re-routed to stay to the west/south of the trail, which would remove some traffic from conflicting with the trail entirely (I don’t know how much). The right turn off of Victoria would be fairly sharp, which is good; I’d be concerned the turn onto the existing part of West might be too broad and encourage excessive speed.
Or there could just be a traffic light at the trail, or even just a good high-quality pedestrian refuge.
