I do realize that. But if we have rail and we have pedestrians, what should we have? A raised monorail so there is zero pedestrian and cyclist impact? Is it really worthwhile? Or all rail needs to be underground so it does not cast a shadow on any passerby on foot? Seriously?
Weber Street has an underpass, and I personally think it's quite OK as a pedestrian. In the winter, I prefer it to the Margaret St bridge, too, given that it'll be sheltered from the winds.
