.. and this design also doesn't have to contend with ice build up on ramps during winter's freeze-thaw cycles! #winterdesign

A new “continuous sidewalk” in Kitchener. The design differs from regular sidewalks in that it doesn’t dip down to road level at intersections. It continues at an uninterrupted height. This slows cars turning onto the street + reinforces pedestrian priority thru the intersections

Ooh, love this idea — colour is an important part of year-round design. Calling all #yegartists!
