It is good to get this done. 
I wonder if they've plans to fix the exit 8 mess. That continuous lane that has both people merging in and out is such a poor design.

 

What would make that better, I don't see many of them..  Have the one lane (preferably the inside) merge first and then maybe in another 100m merge the 2nd outside lane?  Or should they merge into one earlier..?

You can get all the way to about half way up Mt. Doug before it gets too narrow and shallow.

 

Wimp. Real adventure kayaking doesn't even begin until you reach dry land.

I'm not gonna pretend to be a traffic engineer, I just know the current situation is lousy.

I am pretty sure quite a few of our municipal traffic engineers are only pretending. How else to explain Vancouver Street?

I think it's great design - long merge lanes are way easier than lanes where you have only a very short merge area.
