Nothing particularly new, though I am glad to see that the MUT transition into the intersection at Victoria and through to the bike path is going to be properly graded down instead of the pedestrian curb cut and slopes like every wrist-breaking intersection on the Victoria St E MUT.
I didn't realize Stewart was getting a MUT as well, that's good. I hope it all connects well, especially the Victoria St crossing. It will be great to finally be able to bypass Victoria Park to get to the IHT from downtown.
I still don't understand the transition between Waverly and Cherry Park at all, but I can tolerate it...
Waverly is supposed to get a MUT as well, along side the Church, but that has been delayed for...*reasons*...I suspect there is some opposition from the church and they either have to spend more money to rework a lot of the church yard (and build a retaining wall) or they have to take out the parking *gasp*... so they probably considered it a lower priority.
As usual, very little value is placed on connected infra...I realize Waverly isn't exactly a dangerous road, in that case, it's probably the "feel" of continuity, rather than the feeling of safety that's important, and I can't reallyt blame them for prioritizing the feeling of safety first.
