Any thoughts on the impacts of the new Cycling Grid on the pedestrian promenade?
I keep hearing that the City doesn't want to route the Cycling Grid down Gaukel (connecting existing Young Street cycle route to Victoria Park) because it will be a pedestrian path but it seems to me that that would be a bonus.
The City's traffic study done for the Cycling Grid showed a 4X increase in traffic at the Gaukel/Charles intersection and one-way streets (Joseph) are well known to be a divide in neighbourhoods.
Does this seem counter productive to the goal?
