Good Day.
Yup.... been this way for some time now.
Reason.....traffic calming, pedestrian crossing, and the always biggie - bicycle lanes. Remember, this is Fleury's ward, and it was built at his behest, along with the b-lanes along Hemlock and Beechwood to the Vanier Parkway.
Overall, they are not terrible.....except when you get to the stretch from Marier to the V-Parkway (the dipsy-doodles are terrible there).
So, the traffic load at rush flows -sufficiently- on St.Laurent, but backs up at the smallest excuse. And it backs up totally westbound on Beechwood, on back onto Hemlock. Any additional load, such as the CanLands Rockcliffe coming online, will clog it utterly (bumper-to-bumper) the entire distance even today, let alone a bridge feed.
That would be - NoJoy!
