If anyone here is looking for a headache, the Sun wrote an opinion piece on this. The facebook comments on it are exactly what you’d imagine.

DEY TUK ERRR ROAD!

 

[Gronk!]

Can anyone confirm when this pilot will begin? The barriers are still up as of today.

After the LRT line opens (not a joke). TransEd needs to give the whole route back to the City

The Trans Ed higher ups need to do a medieval walk of shame across the whole lrt line while the great people of this city hurl eggs, tomatoes and piles of their shit at them. Then and only then will I consider forgiving them for the ridiculous delays.

I'm pretty sure I recall someone from administration saying that the road could actually re-open by June 30, during the meeting where the summer pilot got approved (but they were saying that about the road as it was planned to be, before the pilot was approved). I'll try and dig it up.

Mine as well.

Probably should close it all for another year or two to redo the cross-section so that it is optimized since we changed our minds at the 11th hour after a decade of consultation, design charrettes and best-practices.

It's already been five years, so another two won't even be noticed. While we are at it, let's add some granite bollards to really help define the edges.

I bet they will end up doing something cheap like painting over top of the existing bricks.

Even if the bike lanes are switched, they'll still have a light. even if it's a bike light.

With masonry blades and precision saw cuts it would probably be less expensive to replace the bricks -- it wouldn't be the most costly mistake the City has made over the years. In my Proposal Layout, I am going to make the switch. Even if it goes back to vehicular path, the switch would still make sense if we are talking about alley access.

Why not just pour concrete over them instead?

I think the bikes could also be limited to 30 km/h.
