(I even made my own little future Hespeler Road: https://streetmix.net/-/1900367)

Yeah, Streetmix is great, even some cities are starting to use it.

At first I thought "man, I'm surprised how constrained Hespeler Rd. is". Then I saw the scroll buttons at the bottom, and man Hespeler Rd. is HUGE! I cannot believe how badly we use the space.

One nitpick, bike lanes can go around transit shelters--although it's especially weird because there will also need to be central transit stations for the LRT.

Also, galaxy brain, if we were really ambitious, bike lanes can also go around gas stations.
