Avalon Place Highway 7/8 Multi-Use Trail Crossing
(08-20-2025, 08:41 AM)creative Wrote: You literally are unable to post without adding a negative point of view. Please provide a link to the motivation of this bridge being built to improve transit metrics. And again, why do you care, you left.

It was explicitly stated by staff when it was proposed (you forget, it's taken so long to build that I was literally there at the meetings when this was being discussed). It allows them to include a large number of homes across the highway on the Avalon Pl. side in the walk shed of the bus stop on Chandler Dr. thereby increasing the transit coverage without running more buses.

There's nothing wrong with this, I never said there was. But it does explain WHY they chose THIS particular piece of infrastructure.

Now, I might be willing to dig up the report for you, but seeing as you feel the need to downvote me, and publicly attack me for calling out a legitimate issue (cost) with Canadian infrastructure, I'm not going to bother doing the work for you. If you choose not to believe me, I don't care.
