That the HTA hasn't been updated properly to allow crossrides under a PXO...I suspect it won't be under the current regime. Literally no other reason, crossrides are allowed on other types of crossings.
The root of the problem is that only Ontario needs this "special" "made in Ontario" type of crossing that's governed distinctly from crosswalks.
Combined with a lack of creativity from our designers. Make the path a road with no general traffic lanes, only bicycle lanes and sidewalks. Install normal traffic lights. Voilà!
And while it’s an example of what might be called creative compliance, it also has the benefit of treating the active transportation route as co-equal with motor vehicle routes: it’s a road, not some second-class “pathway”.
