The lines don't connect properly, there are no curb cuts and there is grass on the boulevard. I have a hard time imagining that the city staff actually painted this.

Trillium PS in Kitchener had a similar crossing that ended in a neighbours driveway apron (for accessibility) before they build a new formalized crossing. I believe the originally moved the existing crossing to move it away from a nearby intersection to make line of sight better. It’s near a school and a church and close to 2 very low volume intersections, but not actually part of the intersections. Quite a mystery. RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - Chris - 06-04-2022 Definitely bizarre. Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer adopts a highway and drives down it removing a lane for more comfort.

Lol... You have a lack of imagination. There's plenty of "not my department" thinking. I mean, we have asphalt and concrete trails that were misaligned for years...a decade even. I mean, I really don't know what's going on here, but I can imagine a city worker getting instructions, looking at it, thinking...that's weird...well...whatever. I don't know how the instructions get that messed up.... RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - Acitta - 06-07-2022 King Street and Coronation Boulevard Improvements: Public Consultation #1 The Region of Waterloo is proposing improvements along King Street East and Coronation Boulevard in Cambridge. This video is an overview of the project, highlights proposed improvement alternatives and offers information on how you can share your comments by July 6, 2022. They don't seem to have put the project page or survey on EngageWr yet. RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - bravado - 06-07-2022 (06-07-2022, 01:08 PM)Acitta Wrote: King Street and Coronation Boulevard Improvements: Public Consultation #1 Just wanted to correct you to Cambridge instead of Kitchener! With the LRT bypassing this road completely, I think there is a huge opportunity here for cycling and pedestrian infrastructure. If these new MUTs connected to the upcoming MUTs on Dundas and the existing bike lanes on King St in Preston, the major East-West artery in Cambridge would be accessible. Since Cambridge is so defined by large Regional roads, I hope that more roads get the MUTs seen on Franklin and it becomes surprisingly straightforward to get around town with average to good bike lanes. Coronation is wide enough to land a plane and there’s no reason why something new can’t be done… hell, I’d even consider sacrificing a lane for a bus lane project.

Unless it's for construction, then nary a peep. ONLY when you close a lane for someone other than cars...then you're a murderer. Honestly...I hated that discussion so much... Sorry folks, bringing back bad memories... RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - Acitta - 06-07-2022 (06-07-2022, 04:07 PM)bravado Wrote:The typo was in the original.

Improvements along King Street and Coronation Boulevard are being considered to address the deteriorated roadway and underground infrastructure, as well as to provide enhanced active transportation facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. As part of the study process, prior to any approvals, the public and other stakeholders will have an opportunity to review design alternatives and provide input on the proposed improvements. The first public consultation opportunity is from June 8 to July 6 and will be accessible through this Region of Waterloo Engage platform. Please use the Subscribe button on this page to receive future project updates by email and for notices about upcoming public engagement opportunities. RE: General Road and Highway Discussion - GtwoK - 07-06-2022 Signs up on Courtland around Hayward saying Courtland will be closed to Northbound traffic for the next 6 months.

Courtland Ave E - Partially Closed Hayward Ave TO Balzer Rd Reason: Other (REGION) Details: Two-way traffic maintained; expect delays; pedestrian traffic maintained around work zone.
