My partner and I went to KW surplus today. I was surprised that there was a hard curb along the centre of the road, and no central turning lane. There are gaps in the curb for KW Surplus and Shoes 22 (usable for the former Saab dealership if coming from the other direction) which are currently filled with cones. There's a massive amount of space on the road, currently filled with painted yellow lines, learning it is for future use makes sense.
Cycling-wise, I'm pretty comfortable on a lot of roads but I would not even a little bit enjoy riding on the sidewalk along there. I'll continue to route around when I need to ride to that part of town.
There's still a lot of construction in the area, and a lot of signs (including one on the expressway) that say the bridge is closed, and River is still closed as well so while the area as a whole is much improved, I'm in full agreement with all the criticisms stated above. It's an improvement, but it's definitely not great.
