Maybe Victoria's new tourism slogan should be "Get away and relax on the islands... the traffic islands, that is."

I see the graffiti angels didn't waste any time.

The one in front of the Dutch bakery and crust bakery on fort are quite well used. Not quite sure what all is around where this new one's going though
Yes, I often see street people lounging around on them. It’s really quite heart warming because we don’t do enough for Victoria’s most vulnerable.

With all the money they just spent on Fort St, you'd think they'd have found a few bucks to lay down proper reflective road markings that are visible on a rainy night, but no.......

Well, it’s true that most of the road markings have worn off (along with the pavement.) On the other hand, since most of the city roads have been converted into dangerous obstacle courses drivers must necessarily pay close attention.
Let your eyes wander for a moment and you may miss a sudden lane constriction ( with oncoming traffic), randomly placed concrete pedestals sporting metal poles, clusters of incomprehensible signs, confusing bike lane signals and various other scary creations of the dark Webb. The quick and the dead are soon sorted out without the need for reflective markings.

Last pole standing: Colwood roundabout has a unique feature

It doesn't look much like a roundabout either.
It's a double.
The City of Colwood has started construction on a new double roundabout at the intersection of Latoria Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway, with construction expected to be complete by fall 2023.

Maybe they got help from the COV engineering department.

Comment: Why are Victoria’s roads so bad and getting worse?

Wow, the dark Webb and her crew have really outdone themselves on Superior street. I knew they were working on it but hadn’t seen the grotesque finale until yesterday. The bike lane is separated by a string of concrete curbs, each one crowned by a tall yellow and black striped metal marker. Unbelievably hideous and, of course, unnecessary. The money wasted on this could have repaired all the potholes in James Bay.

Massey tunnel in Vancouver.. Charge a $2 toll until the construction costs are paid off.
North bound traffic is always so light in the morning, and wouldn't cause much of an issue, and then when it's reversed, you could honestly have it as a smaller section of highway so people coming from DT can go express and help ease the merge at McKenzie overpass.
I can't think of any reason why not to do this.. so curious on others thoughts

Like it would work northbound if the Malahat had more than one lane.
