Walking in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

At the very least the Peppler signal should be moved to the Laurel Trail then you'd have more even spacing of the crossings:
Weber to Devitt = 250m
Devitt to Laurel Trail = 250m
Laurel Trail to Regina = 290m

With a remote button at Peppler. Lights at the trail would also stop almost all traffic coming to Peppler — the only exception would be people coming out of driveways since there are no intersections. Another creative idea that, if past experience is any guide, will totally blow the mind of planners such that they can’t even understand it, much less rationally evaluate its feasibility.

I should also comment that on one-way streets there is no reason based on traffic flow to restrict the number of pedestrian (or other) crossings — just synchronize them so if they’re all activated traffic on the street still gets a green wave. In fact traffic lights could also be used to enforce any speed desired.
