I see that but it still seems less than ideal. If we want to truly transform Hespeler we should be aiming for one lane with turn lanes, bike lanes and wider pedestrian areas. Hespeler like I suggested is a horrible road with excessive speeding I struggle to see this changing without enforcement that seems to be politically unacceptable, there is no way the current design is safe. If we insist on having LRT down the middle of a wide road then underpasses should be considered.
The current arrangement is a compromise that isn't ideal, much like Kitchener where the LRT should have gone down king street and removed the unnecessary turning, which dramatically slows the LRT. If we want LRT to truly work then the car should come third not second in the order of transit mode priority.
