It seems to be too close to Lincoln to add a pedestrian signal, but also far enough to make one not want to walk to Lincoln to cross. Crossing mid-block on Weber Street is dangerous at the best of times, and impossible at the worst of times. Is a pedestrian overpass feasible at all at this location? How much would it cost? Is there enough room on either side to build one?
I cross there every day when I'm biking. It is miserable.
I believe it will shortly get better, but I'm not sure about the timeline. (2016? 2017?) I'd recommend you contact John Griffin (Environmental Project Manager) at the City of Waterloo, as he'll know its status and the current plan. (He also was a major part of bringing about the Laurel Trail improvements, so I'm sure he'd appreciate the feedback.)
