Sorry, but I'm going to plug my petition again.
The Frederick and Queen St. ION stops are some of the most central stations we have, but have completely inadequate pedestrian access. It's unbelievable that it was built that way, but here's a way to retrofit Frederick St. to fix it.
Basically I suggest tighter turn radii, converting to two lanes to make room for a two-way cycle track. This way the ION station can have a direct access at both ends, all we need to do is retrofit some curbs in.
I have a Youtube video describing the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rygMdouzi_I&t=21s&ab_channel=DanielBrotherston (gosh I wish we could embed like twitter).
If you think we can improve Benton and Frederick Sts. please sign the petition here: https://www.change.org/betterbenton
