I wasn't suggesting changing the number of vehicle lanes through here, but I was more wondering whether there was an opportunity for the Region (since they own the right-of-way) to pre-emptively expand the right-of-way in order plan to non-vehicle infrastructure (trees! transit shelters!). I understand that there are already neighbourhoods in Toronto which have very narrow sidewalks and no opportunity for expansion now that the new taller buildings were built right up to the sidewalks. Short of bulldozing the condo buildings (not going to happen) or removing the vehicles (not going to happen either), there are no opportunities to expand the pedestrian rights-of-way.
