Thanks for the opportunity for input Sam! When I first visited this city about a year and half ago, I was stunned by how accessible the downtown was. My only grief was with Burnside having narrow sidewalks and being difficult to cross. The one-way streets in downtown are much easier to cross since you have only one direction to look for traffic. Couch is just as annoying to cross as a pedestrian because of the two way traffic currently. You have four vehicle lanes entering each intersection which creates more pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. I'm glad that this project is moving forward and I have confidence it will be approved because it has such larger positive implications for the connection of the greater downtown.
