Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ac3r]

I read a post on Reddit where someone suggested a better idea than an island would be a tunnel under the road. It would be safer and keep the flow of foot/bike traffic on the trail moving at a constant pace. They're pretty common in Europe, so I don't see why we couldn't build the same here, except for the fact the city would likely say it costs too much money.

Where are the sewer lines at that point?

The answer to that question pretty much determines whether tunnelling would be excessively expensive or absurdly expensive.

Good point and I somehow didn't think of that. I am not too sure how deep the average sewer lines or any other utility runs on that part of Victoria. In fact the only other pedestrian tunnel crossing I can think of is this one here on Westmount just north of Highland, and I guess it goes just deep enough to not impact the sewer lines (unless there are none there, and storm water drains right into Henry Strum Creek).
