Correct. The "4th lane" is the shoulder lane as seen on blueprints.
No harm in building a little wider just in case there's a need in the future.

They re-opened the street today. I don't understand why they are not doing any work on the actual curbs or sidewalks.
What with the stop location northbound on Simcoe??
They need to be south of the off ramp, otherwise blocking off ramp traffic. Why stagger other than allowing longer vehicles to turn there to go south.
I see they have installed the traffic lights on Simcoe for the off ramp including pedestrians ones, but see no lights for the off ramp itself yet.
I guess in the coming weeks, the west sidewalk will be close so they can cut in the off ramp and finish the bike lane.
Another week and they will have the off ramp barriers done and install the lamp post.
Surprise they didn't do rest of the curbs during the shut down, but can be built anytime this month. Same goes for the east sidewalk not being rebuilt since it was close during the shut down.
Based on my last week tour of the area, I think the city is designing this on the fly in a few places and why things taking longer. It looks like the top coat will be remove late this year or next year and repave with true markings for the whole project.
The traffic lights are old. They have not been touched yet.
The markings are temporary until the final coat is done.
Last thing I'd call slow would be this particular project!... work is always painfully slow, especially if your just an observer
The thing I call slow is getting Guild doing the relocation of traffic lights as well new ones. Once those are done, then rest of the curbs and road can be built.Last thing I'd call slow would be this particular project!
If it wasn't for this delay, the road would have be finish a month or so ago. Not sure who holding that work up and could be the City itself.
