Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[SF22]

Kitchener has been doing such a good job at retrofitting trail crossings to be safer, but the Region just hasn't. And of course all of the regional roads are the busiest ones. The Dom Cardillo Trail has at least 3 crossings across 4 lanes of traffic with absolutely zero pedestrian infrastructure (two on River, one on Fairway, ranging from 80m-440m away from the nearest protected intersection). There's this presumed push to make sure everyone has good access to greenspace near their homes, but those sorts of crossings are like a chasm you have to navigate, and a lot of people won't, especially if they have mobility issues or small kids.
