Keeping the current car lane count on Hespeler is hostile to pedestrians and antithetical to the stated purposes of the Stage 2 expansion.
Hespler is a regional road so the city has no jurisdiction on deciding the design of Hespler, so when the LRT eventually gets put it Hespler will be shrunk to 4 lanes and Cambridge can't do anything about it, all they're doing is making it 6 lanes so they can change the current zoning along Hespler.
What would we interesting to see is if Ford does something similar to the entire Peel situation and dissolves the region into individual cities. Then Hespler would turn over to Cambridge and then they would have the jurisdiction over Hespler. Which would seemingly mean no LRT.
