Yeah, it's pretty unnecessary. Although I'll fully admit, I ride it on weekends, so, I'm not seeing it at it's busiest.
In the theme of absurd 4 lane roads, I give you Dixon: https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.4354614,-...312!8i6656
A tiny residential street that is for some reason a massive four lane arterial Rd. Worst part, this is part of a major cycling route.
That being said, I think the situation around Wilson and Fairway is a huge obstacle to the success of the LRT...I've taken the train to businesses there, and I've rarely felt less safe or less welcome in the city. Hopefully the Wilson work can at least improve the crossing for pedestrians as well.
