I'd wager that any self-respecting transportation engineer who has been practicing any time since about 1986 knows that's too narrow for this location.
Edit: Global news
has a story on this.
Funny how Patman compares the new width to sidewalk widths where patios make the path of travel narrower. Okay fine, but sidewalk patios are applied for every year, and are reviewed by City departments and can be moved if there are accessibility issues. They also don't narrow the sidewalk during snowfall months. In short, they are temporary. This loading zone in permanent.
It's just a little jarring to see a registered engineer can stand in front of the camera and justify this based on some
anecdata from businesses complaining about loading.
