In February, I wondered whether the Laurier Avenue refurbishment around Metro Laurier would resemble the artist's conception.
Passing by on a sunny April afternoon, I was surprised just how much a portion of the image resembles the new reality.
Although the point of view is the opposite of the artist's conception, it is pretty remarkable that the city would construct such a uniform surface with hardly a visual difference between the sidewalk and the road portion of Rivard north of Laurier.
Thoughtfully, though, the city added little metal knobs on the sidewalk on each side of the road to alert pedestrians that they are about to walk across a roadway. Perhaps they should have added something similar on the road to alert drivers?
