I love the entire York streetscape project and market/library reno, but I must admit I'm a little disappointed in this crosswalk treatment and layer of blacktop that has been installed as the final surface. The city planning documents stated that the roadway would have coloured pavement to help it stand out as a special precinct. I would much rather see true cobblestone crosswalks instead of these fake ones. Real cobblestone adds a sense of place and the slight vibrations under a car tire help to slow down motorists and get them to realize that they are driving in the midsts of a special place and not just a freeway to somewhere else.

That said, I can't really complain about this entire project (although I'm sure I'll complain about the single bike lane in one direction when the project is done. LOL) . It's turning out quite nice.
