Yes, IHT does routinely get the shaft, but I know the CoK staff who are involved and are doing what they can (within the confines of truly awful provincial legislation and regional transportation planning), and FWIW they are making significant improvements at many crossings.
The details of what each crossing will get are here:
One thing of note, the raised crossings will be true raised crossings, where the trail does not have to go down to the level of the road first. They did this on the trail out to Sobeys and it was very poor, so I think they now recognize that a better design is needed.
Great! Thanks Dan, these will be very welcome. If you mean the raised crossing on Patricia, I would agree it wasn't the best execution but a welcome experiment/progress in that direction compared to the historical standard. These will much improve the IHT user experience.
Now if we could only get the region to think again about the Victoria St. crossing...
