Exactly this!
And the Region's staff planned a similar design for Weber St, and I went to council to speak against it, the transportation commissioner explicitly testified that the design was fine and to the standard (it isn't). A short time later the design was changed, without any real admission that they made a mistake, but at least they're not going to build that dangerous shit.
The frustrating thing is we raised these exact same issues at ATAC and were ignored.
Unfortunately I've heard this about many issues from many different people with regards to the ATAC. Sometimes I wonder if the committees they have exist to just look like there's a "process"
