That is a nice QoL improvement. I see so many awkward crossings at Breigthaupt and also at Wilhelm as people try to get to the crosswalk to the Spur at Weber.
This is great, I think you can thank Merely Kate for this (as well as Darren) I know she pushed hard for it.
In other news, it looks like Ontario St. is getting sharrows past King. This is no surprise and absolutely what I called. It's probably worth it, but I hope folks will remember the businesses that killed the project, and tell others why.
Honestly...I don't miss any of this for one second. The fact that a grand total of three business owners basically have direct control over the public realm for thousands of people is...frustrating to say the least.
On the topic, anyone heard anything about the region's Duke St. contribution? Are they still arguing for the "share with buses" plan? (I'm considering them two separate bets).
