Wait really? I thought this project had completed stalled and was relegated to a dusty shelf? Good news if this is the case
I would be really interested to see how pedestrian movements have changed before and after this project. Pedestrian movements are never tracked or studied very well, but I would love to prove my observations that 13th avenue and 2nd Street is significantly busier than previously. Pedestrian infrastructure works, successes need to be better documented though.
It would be nice if the original project was updated to include modern traffic design standards like pedestrian bump-outs on corners and zebra crossings. This project seemed to slip through just before the city starting taking pedestrian safety more seriously (on paper in design standards, if not in actual practice).
