I happened to take drive down Fleet Ave the other day.
There is a contractor company crew of about a dozen people busy adding a "Curb Bump" on Fleet for most or all of streets which run into Fleet between the Lindsay(tracks) and Cambridge. I think Fleet is wider than the normal residential streets so bicycles and car traffic can share it easily.
There was not much vehicular traffic on the few times I have driven on Fleet.
Is this happening on all the other streets designated as "Active Living"?
Isn't this a bit of overkill for a "have-not" city?

What's a curb bump?

They MOVED the curb into the street about 4 feet for about 1 small car length at the intersection where the sidewalk from a cross street meets Fleet. They had to rip out part of the old curb, build a rounded form to pour the new curb,
extend the sidewalk from the crossing street, add dirt and topsoil because the boulevard is now wiser in that area, add sod for the wider boulevard.
Hope I explained it clearly.

And they did it on most or all of the cross streets from the tracks to Cambridge.

Fleet and streets like it are lightly traveled and would make great routes for cyclists to travel instead of Grant and Corydon and Taylor.

That said I bet they continue to use Grant and Corydon and Taylor. Wait'll they decide Grosvenor is a good choice for that as well.
