They should also signalize the pedestrian crossing behind the Fairway shops and put in lift arms, that would save the trains going slower there.
Yeah, the Hayward location is truly absurd.
The whole section from the creek to the hydro corridor is poorly thought out. Some of it can be fixed easily, some not so much.
I'm not sure you'd gain back 10 minutes though.
I thought it was originally supposed to be 90 minutes round trip anyway.
You could get back a fair bit at Erb and Caroline southbound. And just adding 10km/h in all the places where it is idiotically kept, not to the speed of adjacent traffic but to the official speed limit of adjacent traffic, would add up over all the street running areas. Also I regularly observe motor vehicles get the green first northbound at Allen; assuming it’s ready to go the LRT should get the green first. If there are other similar locations that would give a bit more too.
I agree it’s hard to know how the numbers would actually come out but overall it really isn’t operated with any sense of urgency so I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see 10 minutes shaved off with improved operations.
