One part about the consultation is that it basically stopped once a private contractor (GrandLinq) was selected. At that point the design was still relatively abstract; finer details like pedestrian crossings and bike lanes weren't factored in. Had they continued to get public input while GL was finalizing the designs, oversights like this could have been avoided. But it seems they wrote the contract to avoid having the private partner deal with all that.
