Lol...I literally met with the engineers from the region and from KPMG about this project.
They said there was no room...
They couldn't explain how there was room for [lane, bike lane, curb] but not room for [lane, curb, bikelane].
But I also had to remind them to reduce the corner radii from 30 meters on residential streets, so I'm not sure they were really focused on the ped/cycling realm here.
Honestly, the region won't improve until upper level staff either see turnover for interested and competent replacements or current staff have some kind of personality changing life experience or traumatic brain injury. Even after that, it will take a few years to rewrite all the bad standards documents.
