Interesting design for the MUP next to the 22A offramp. Anyone know what the purpose of these concrete pads is?

I think they're just following the ministry guidelines for MUP design

When a pathway is any steeper than 5%, flatter resting
areas should be provided at set intervals, depending
on the severity of the longitudinal grade. For pathways
with grades between 5% and 6%, a flatter resting area
of 3% or less should be provided every 100 metres. For
pathways with grades between 6% and 8%, a flatter
rest area should be provided every 50 metres. Where
a pathway has grades steeper than 8%, alternative
treatments should be explored, such as including
switch backs or locating the pathway along a route
with a flatter grade.
