I think this project looks good, but Victoria Street itself continues to be terrible - this location is on a nearly 400m stretch that ought to be urban, but which has no safe crossings of a busy 4 lane road. And no street trees, cycling infrastructure, nor a boulevard strip on this side of it.

And will remain so for the foreseeable future. It's funny, the moving forward transportation plan has both "widen Victoria" and "road diet" Victoria on the long term plan.  If you ask the transportation planners they say both plans seem to make sense from a transportation standpoint (one makes vastly more sense from a city building standpoint, but that's irrelevant to the region).  They also say they're quite certain widening is what will happen.

Sadly, there's been little push back on this.

How are both things actual options when they completely contradict eachother?

Can development's like this help push for change?
