It can't be because of the curve in the road because people have already been crossing the street there for the longest time. Is this just one of those "Waterloo Region things" that you're not supposed to put much thought into?
It’s a city of Kitchener project. They put the crossing there because it makes it a 90 crossing which is preferred for sight lines. Also the curve makes the lanes wider, so the island would have had to be smaller, even though hydro forced them to use bullshit roll curbs there anyway.
honestly, I think that crossing is so bad it wasn’t worth the money, but for a project manager to go to council and argue a project has been killed by compromises, well, that’s just a form of truth that we are not comfortable with in our society.
