[Uptown] Erb/Bridgeport/Caroline/Albert Reconstruction
#9
Hopefully someone can find something more current from Grandlinq, but here's a close-up of the Erb-Caroline intersection from the ION project agreement (Schedule 15-2 Appendix I Alignment & OMSF Drawings Part 2).

   

According the the plans, NB>WB left turns from Caroline St to Erb have been restricted to everything except buses (presumably on an advanced signal) and that other left-turning traffic would be rerouted to Father David Bauer. As such, a double-right channel should be possible, however, if the Region has determined that only one is needed, that's OK too.

Assuming there will be a dedicated right turn signal, one addition I'd like to see is a signalized crosswalk across Caroline to the north of Dupont in order to better connect the Waterloo Park trail network to the northern half of Uptown. I'm not sure how many people try to cross here (it's pretty dangerous currently), but I doubt an additional crosswalk would have any impact on traffic that is already stopped.

Actually, come to think of it, a formal crosswalk is also needed at Albert/Dupont/Dorset.
