It sounds like lots of logistics are yet to be determined. My concern is some boulevards along King (near CKCO for example) are almost nonexistent. Also the new concrete boulevard in front of Sun Life (briefly discussed earlier in this thread), isn't an ideal place to pile snow. Here's hoping it doesn't create any additional dangers for pedestrians/motorists along the route where limited space exists for the piling of snow.
They need coordination, but as far as the snow volume or where to put it, none of this is unique to the LRT. Many streets don't have boulevards, including some rather wide ones. Cities have solved this problem before, it's mainly the coordination that needs to be worked out.
Definitely no unique issues here, also, really no issues whatsoever. The median between the trains is enormous, and the lanes are exceptionally wide in most places, there's plenty of snow storage space. Moreso than on many roads.
