Personally, on the Benton part I would like to see some additional width to the currently very narrow sidewalks, whether by dropping the traffic lanes to 3.3-3.5m or by reducing the intermediate strip and/or the bike lines a bit. But I'm picking nits here ...
I completely agree, and I think the region is planning on rebuilding that entire section, so it's likely that would be in the cards.
My proposal was based around the idea that this could be retrofitted into the existing design. It would be very hard to widen the sidewalks in that context because the storm drains would be covered by the sidewalk extension.
Ahh, good point! I didn't think of the storm drains.
Some parts of the road surface are in pretty rough shape (Arrow 2 construction did no favours in that regard). When is the region planning to do the rebuild?
