Certainly I don't think sharing with the train is a safety issue, that being said, I'm not sure I'd totally trust the flangeway, it might work 99% of the time, and 1% of the time fail, so if you're always riding along the tracks, eventually someone will take a fall. As for changing human nature, yes, that is hard, but I expect exposed railway ties would convince the vast majority of cyclists to take the new easiest path which would be the trail. I bet you'd still have peds using the alley, but this is probably fine.
I want to install retail on the ground floor of the parkade, along King St. You could add 2-3 stores, depending how big they are, and only take away a few parking spots.
I could get behind this too, I'm not sure what the changes would be required to meet code, but there's also plenty of room for a trail.
