Today’s photo come courtesy of regular reader Luc. He gives us a bird’s eye view of the happenings at Walker & Grand Marais.
An overview of the intersection, shows it is rapidly taking shape.
A crop of the scene shows that we should be on track for the November re-opening.
Thanks Luc!
Does anyone know where the cyclist/pedestrian crossing is going to be for this intersection? The Memorial Park bike path empties right there and was a great East/West corridor across the city. I hope the needs of alternative transportation (besides the trains) were taken into account when they designed/built this thing, and they’re not being diverted kilometers down the road in either direction to cross Walker.
Chris, per the faq http://www.citywindsor.ca/001124.asp#grade “The extension of cycling/pedestrian facilities across Walker Road.” is listed under “How will this project benefit our community?” You’ll have to interpret just how “extensive” this extension is going to be, or what it will entail exactly, unless someone has access to better details out there??
Where’s the people in the picture?? They should be working on it 24/7 like assembly line workers or, in the very least, from dawn to dusk instead of pissing everyone else off in this city with bottlenecks. I went to Home Depot around 4pm last week from Devonshire Mall area along Division Rd. and it almost took me an hour. I tried to go back using Walker Rd to get to EC Rowe only to be stuck in another bottleneck that included a bottlenecked EC Rowe. Never had that problem before until that unreasonably long and slow work on Walker Rd. The city needs to get their act together!!
Ye ole sprawl shopping trip didn’t work out so well, huh?
Luc, you’re fired.
Thanks John, but on par with most of city communications addressing us radical “alt. trans.” folks, that explanation is as clear as mud.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
