I still don't get why our design is so different from what everyone else does, with a raised centre portion for the tracks, instead of having it at the same height with just the curb sticking up like a "wall".
You would think the slightly raised centre portion would be easier for emergency vehicles to mount. And it's not like we are totally separating traffic from LRT everywhere else. Borden, Ottawa, Francis, etc just have a rolled gutter curb between the traffic lane and the LRT.
