I'm aware of what they're doing. I still don't understand why they couldn't realign Dundas and Dunbloor and rename Dunbloor to be Dundas so that it would be one continuous road. Sometime in the future people will wonder what's up with the jog in Dundas the way we wonder about all the other existing jogs in the street grid.

There is no question that the design had its origin in the politics of the David Miller city hall and Elmer the Safety elephant intervened to make sure all the cars slowed down. Cars bad. People good. Nothing will encourage better driving habits like annoying the hell out of drivers. Not to mention how this will speed Miway passengers' ride to the wreck which is the Islington bus station.

The design was to maximize space for more development instead of using up more roadway ROW for a smooth curve. Oh yes, keep traffic slow too. The design was intended to make Kipling station a pedestrian friendly accessible station from the east end of the station. Although, they should rename Dunbloor into Dundas and rename that part of Dundas to Kipling Old Dundas. They'll have another Keele/Eglinton situation.
Went by this week and there is a new intersection with street lights erected in the middle of all that, not yet ready for use. It's gradually taking shape.
