Thanks Melissa for noting this here! I forgot to document exactly which crossings were being considered.
This is by far the most exciting thing I've heard in my time living here since LRT was approved.
It would be nice if the PXOs could be activated by bicycles approaching, instead of having to reach and stumble for the button (of course, whether this is legal now I don't know).
For regional roads, I think everything is up to the region, but Victoria they seem to have traction on. Of course, I very much want to see the designs for the ped island before it's approved because I have little to no faith that it will be reasonable, between the bike lanes, and limited space, I fear it will basically criminally narrow like Weber St, I'm ready to speak to council again.
As for "driveway conditions", I'm hoping that's a reflection of the fact that Palmer is a dead end there:

And basically all that's on the other side is a driveway for a rarely used municipal vehicle lot. What should happen is the trail should continue through uninterrupted and the driveway should be a driveway entrance onto the road through the trail. Of course sadly, Palmer was rebuilt recently (1-2 years ago) and this was not done, not even close...one of the bumpier crossings---such a massive fail, because nobody even thinks about these things, so this might be a while off.
