No apologies necessary for this. It's completely ridiculous that none of the options look at widening the sidewalk, even if ultimately that is too expensive of a change for this project. Sidewalk, cycling facilities and transit priority are all MUCH more important than on-street parking, no matter what any short-sighted business owner in the Glebe says.
