General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[danbrotherston]

No, they are sidewalks, cars should not be there at any time...not to pull over, not to park, not to squeeze around a turning vehicle.  But I thank you for demonstrating why it is such a bad decision.

Yeah, I agree on the roll curbs. I have no idea what the rationale was for putting those in. Haven't seen the pavers yet.

Turn lanes ... I see your point. I'll withhold my opinion until I have looked at those more, to see to situation on the ground, so to speak.

It would be interesting to ask the City about this.  They might not be willing to admit it, but I think the rationale is pretty clear, as I indicated earlier.  Note that I make no comment about "should", just about "is".  Time will tell, but I really don't see a police vehicle or ambulance attending to an emergency in that block just stopping in the middle of the street while they deal with the emergency.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised.

This may be their intention, but there is zero justification for it, there are plenty of other two lane roads in the city...those roads also have ambulances, and emergency vehicles which block the street...if this is their justification, it's nothing more than BS.
