General Road and Highway Discussion

If I understand correctly, this is parallel/within the Kitchener Line rail right of way. So it effectively needs all of the same grade separations that the tracks have (Lansdowne, Brock, and Queen), plus I think a bridge over the spur for the Barrie line. It still seems like an absurd price, but Metrolinx is building it...

Maybe they’re billing a complete replacement of the rail grade to the active transportation project. Not conceptually different from leaving space beside a rail right-of-way for a multi-use trail.
