Aren't you ecstatic about Jackson? Throws his weight around to kill bike-lanes on Queensdale, but doesn't give a crap about giving you decent sidewalks. Nice guy.

To me it seems plainly obvious that this design was intended for use on grassy boulevards or double-wide sidewalks and using them on old-fashioned narrow directly-abut-road sidewalks is a complete mis-use of it.

You can see where the city likes them - roads that are "arterial" where they want to use every inch of the road for lanes of high-speed traffic. As far as I'm concerned, if that road has a normal old-fahsion sidewalk next to it, the design has already failed regardless of which ramps you want to put in. Dundurn North also sports the "modified standard", for example, while other roads throughout Strathcona have the normal ones.
