I really hope that's going to be a MUT. That road is a fast one, and was not exactly the most pleasant to bike down in its current state.
According to the design and construction report, there are bike lanes proposed for both sides of this new road.
Ugh.

Sure enough, it's bike lanes and a regular 1.5m sidewalk on each side. It would have been much better for cycling if it were no bike lanes, but MUTs on each side. But I get it, the bike lanes let them have the asphalt width the engineers want, while also checking off the "bike infrastructure" box.
