[Dr. Snoot]

No offence intended, but I can genuinely say that I've been walking through here all the time for the last 5 years. Morning, noon, evening, and even late night. I just don't see the traffic issues people complain about. Traffic is literally never backed up at this intersection, as often as I am there (which at this point has been many hundreds of times).

Pedestrians are almost non-existent at this intersection as there is nothing residential here at all.

There is a storage business, the YMCA, and George Brown directly south of this lot, a very small school and small condo directly west of it, eastern off ramp and a small condo directly to the north, and Cherry Place is on the adjacent corner (which is a retirement building) and a car dealership.

All that said, the concept designs are boring and ugly. imo.

In my opinion, it's genuinely dangerous to turn from Old Foundry Road onto Eastern, in either direction. I've also been here hundreds of times as a pedestrian, cyclist, and driver. Traffic comes off of the DVP at 70 km/h and there's a terrible blind spot.

If this isn't made a signalized intersection, guaranteed there will be an accident.

But that wasn't my main point. The proposal overwhelms the neighbourhood and as you have pointed out is FUGLY.
