Pedestrian and cyclists will not be allowed on the bridges. However it will allow for Victoria to get bike lanes/ a MUT once the new highway is completed.
I think most people understand this. I mean that there should have been a completely separate pedestrian bridge span as part of the project. Making these large car infrastructure projects include small upgrades to pedestrian infrastructure is a win win and is something that I think is included more in Europe.
I do agree that HWY 7 will allow Victoria street to be downloaded from the province to the region and could be redesigned to include MUT and possible dedicated bus lanes or LRT in the future.
