It obviously should be done; and even if later an official crossover or signals are installed, the island would still make sense.
Now I just hope they build it big enough. Anybody want to start a pool on whether it will actually be big enough? Recent precedent is not encouraging.
Lol, I'm glad it'll be done...
I suspect that city staff really wanted a different design, like a crossover or a signal, but couldn't get the region to agree. Which is part of why this is so delayed. Of course, maybe that should all have been public.
My only concern is that I think Union should get bike lanes, and that may become impossible with an island.
What does the Region have to do with it? Is Union a Regional road?
Agreed the discussion should have been public. Way too much of this stuff happens in private, as if they were discussing which type of blind to install in their offices, rather than an important component of the public realm.
