For Queen, I don't find it particularly narrow. But I can understand how someone with a child in a trailer or tagalong or even just on their own bike with them might find it a problem.
There is space to widen it more. There is a painted edge line about half a meter from the curb on both sides so there is at least that much space. We just have to decide if accommodating people with a child trailer is more important than the speed of snowplows.
The Weber crossing is a whole other beast. There is plenty of room to make it wider and the fact that it is so terribly under sized makes me unwilling to trust engineers. So when they come and say this is what we are doing on Queen or suggest that it cannot be widened I am less likely to take their word for it.
