Uptown West Neighbourhood Transportation Study -- Sidewalks
#1
[First time poster, long time lurker. Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. I did a search and didn't find an existing thread to use.]

Got the notification for new sidewalks in Uptown West in the mail today. Here are the links to the city website:
Uptown West Neighbourhood Transportation Study
Preliminary Sidewalk Designs

Public information session:
Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2016
Time: Drop in any time between 6 and 8 p.m.
Location: Knox Waterloo Presbyterian Church, 50 Erb St. W., Waterloo 

Interesting to see a few sections of streets becoming one way:
  • Dawson, between Beverly & Roslin
  • Norman, between Roslin & Dunbar
  • Severn
Dawson is currently designated as a bike route (signs on Dawson, no signs directing to Dawson that I've seen). It would be nice to see something done to allow or make clear that bikes can still go both ways... maybe separate lane if there is room.

Another interesting choice is the sidewalk on Roslin from William to John will switch sides at Norman.

What do people think?
