Having looked at the realignment at West I am not sure if the angle and sight-lines are ideal. The crossing is right at the widest part of West, at the crest of a slight hill from both directions, on a curve where motor vehicles tend to speed and cheat across the centre line. I was hoping the final design would narrow West a bit on the west side and at least put a small median to slow traffic down a bit (or take advantage of the width and put an actual safety island/refuge. Based on the fresh concrete pours it doesn't seem that either of those are the case.
The diagrams don't show any changes to the road, but the city and Region are apparently planning to make improvement...likely a pedestrian island. I get the idea it'll be a separate project, no idea on the timeframe.
