If it's like Allen, Francis, Charles (North section) and Borden, then no, it's not - it's more-or-less flush. I don't really get why they did that. Seems like a recipe for disaster when you're trying to pitch the system as totally separate in its own RoW.

I hope we get those here, particularly in areas with tracks parallel to busy cycling routes (combined with on-road markings where possible).

As usual, Kevin beat me to the update. I'll provide some photos to go with his news, though.

One of the concrete barriers now removed from Eby intersection, and the median is poured -- could this be reopening soon?

There's no intention to open Eby, it will remain severed by the tracks.

Do you guys both work right there? Wish I wasn't stuck at work during the day so far away. I always miss the good stuff.
I guess the one update I can provide, working in Cambridge, is that I just went by Cambridge Centre and the new terminal is like half built!

Until they install a sign in the middle of the ROW, there are going to be a lot of people bashing their bumpers and undercarriages on those curbs as they absentmindedly drive straight through.

I do work downtown, yes.
As for Mark's question - they're pretty good at putting up 'one way' and 'no left turn' signs, however temporary, at these spots.

Living and working downtown!
Always looking forward to your more comprehensive photo updates, Iain!
