That crossing, along with Glasgow, Union, Mill, West and others will be getting PXO treatments, and some will also be raised. They painted some of the lines today, but obviously haven't installed signs yet.
Possibly, though it has been a while since they were completed. May be misdirecting a gripe generally that IHT crossings routinely get the shaft for the one major cycling route in town (e.g. - at Park, Victoria, Glasgow, etc). At least there is something there now as without direction that crossing routinely has confusion from drivers and riders about RoW along with some relatively poor sight lines on the approach.
If it is the case they are getting something better signalled like the Park St crossing at Cherry Park, that would be a very welcome improvement. Do you know which will be raised? That treatment is the kind of thing I was hoping this crossing would get and calming measures like that seem far more effective to affect driver behaviour than lines/signs (as you noted).
Sorry, I meant to reply to this yesterday. As far as I know, they've been painted very recently, the signs will definitely be going up soon. Yes, IHT does routinely get the shaft, but I know the CoK staff who are involved and are doing what they can (within the confines of truly awful provincial legislation and regional transportation planning), and FWIW they are making significant improvements at many crossings.
The details of what each crossing will get are here:
One thing of note, the raised crossings will be true raised crossings, where the trail does not have to go down to the level of the road first. They did this on the trail out to Sobeys and it was very poor, so I think they now recognize that a better design is needed.
