This plan is consistent with the tiny lots permitted on Lonewater, alas. I pity the people who would purchase these lots. Adams at that point is steep and narrow and it would be a nightmare to back out of the driveways onto Adams, never mind the ones on Lincoln Road.

Also, that moved house’s corner is going to be right next to the sidewalk.

I agree that the lot sizes need to be bigger to allow for some kind of turnaround.

bad grammar…watching tv….

The blog I made about Downtown Fredericton empty spaces…

it is likely somewhere linked to on the city of fredericton page, otherwise google would not have found it either.

The “error” is most likly not that it wasn’t released, it was released, it just wasn’t easily visible for users, which is subjective after all.

Either this is the first time that the question of busses was even asked in the months and years of development or the people who thought this up assumed with all the other crappy bits of road the city would naturally go for another.

When travelling towards the PM Bridge on Highway 8 on the southside, two lanes of traffic merge into one, then diverge back into two. There is an old truck depot behind Poets Hill that used to have an onramp onto the old TCH. The onramp is still there, and becomes the exit lane for Forest Hill Rd.

So, instead of having two lanes merge into one, why not eliminate the Truck stop onramp, and have two continuous lanes until the Forest Hill offramp?

1. Another thing I would add to the list is the complete lack of flashing amber/flashing red traffic control during the night. When I lived in Antigonish, all of the traffic signals in town went to flashing around 10 or 11 at night.

This would make perfect sense at many intersections in Fredericton:
- Regent street downtown should be flashing yellow all the way through
- Cliffe and MacLaren
- Most lights on Main Street
- Hanwell and Waggoner’s Lane
- I’m sure there are many more…

2. Regarding turning right onto Arnold Drive, I actually had someone honk at me there the other day. This person was northbound on Regent and turning left onto Arnold. Idiots…

3. The super-wide lanes on Bishop should be split into two, that way you could have dedicated turning lanes. Driving behind someone there is always a guessing game because you have no idea what anyone intends to do.

4. Union/Main is actually Royal Road/Main/Union/Riverside Drive.

5. I definitely agree regarding Two Nations Crossing. Would be perfect to link that up with the Marysville Bypass. Unfortunately it isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

6. Another terrible intersection is the front entrance to the Superstore on Waggoner’s Lane. When traveling west, there are two lanes by the Superstore. When this intersection was modified a few years back, the lanes weren’t marked. I assumed that the left lane was for traffic going straight and for turning left, while the right lane was for traffic turning into the Superstore. That would evenly split the traffct, as a LOT of people using Waggoner’s Lane go into the Superstore. Apparently that is far too logical, and when they were finally marked the left lane became a dedicated left turn lane for the 2% of traffic that actually turns left, leaving the 98% of traffic that is split between going straight and turning right for the right lane.

7. Finally, I hear a lot about “Fredericton drivers” and how terrible they are. I think that is unfair. Drivers are terrible everywhere. I have seen very little evidence that Frederictonians are worse than any others.

Right now, people travelling upriver on Queen stay left, while people looking to turn onto the bridge approaches stay right.

Now, everyone will have to squeeze into a single lane.

Couldn’t the convention goers, assuming they’ve taken a bus from their hotel, get off the bus across the street?
