- The grade is technically to code for AODA compliance, even if appearing steep.
- As guessed, the trail is on private property so reading between the lines is the minimum land was appropriated for this to meet design minimums.
- Design expects that since this is a multimodal zone, cyclists should be slowing/dismounting at that point anyways.
Such as it is - not much is going to change until the code and design requirements do.
Disappointing answer.
I'm not there in person, but if the reality is anything like the picture, I'd be going out with a level and a measuring tape and verifying their claim that it is in AODA compliance. It really doesn't look like it does.
Of course, regional expectations that cyclists will be "slowing or dismounting" when moving from one piece of cycling infra to another is really revealing.
I'm sorry guys, I miss you folks, but I don't miss the region.
