i dont even know where it crosses Kingsway. but i always thought that stuff that is meant to be continuous linear parks should get grade separation. its not ideal to be sitting at a traffic signal on a busy road. it sucks for the cars, it sucks for the buses, it sucks for the pedestrians, it sucks for the bikes.
the
Laurel Land Bridge should be a template for these projects. a seamless integration of park space over railway & arterial. its sad we dont do those anymore; its amazing.
it used to have an irrigation system to water the plants, and it used to have a beautiful landscape plan. sadly its all been neglected.
*sigh* gone are the days of big ideas.
