I hope the Region takes no concessions this time. One major accident on the 401 during rush hour and Eagle Street would be jammed all the way between Preston and Hespeler Road, with LRT service disruptions felt all the way up in Waterloo.
I don’t believe the proposed shared traffic segment is on the busy part of Eagle St. Do you think the quiet residential part of Eagle St. would get jammed up in the scenario you describe?
About that curbside ROW: does anybody understand why they did that? It seems that they do that almost everywhere that there is a single track running down a street. But why should a single track be at the curb when a pair of tracks are almost always in the middle?
