No excuse for stopping, right? Midland is spending money so that drivers on King Street between Elizabeth Street and Bay Street who are ticketed for stopping at a pedestrian node can't say they didn't know better. No stopping signs are going up along the pedestrian nodes, the sections of the new sidewalk which bulge into the street at several locations in the downtown core. The public works department is_par- ticularly concerned that the nodes be clear in winter. Downtown King Street is narrower in the length of the downtown core, and even narrower where the nodes swell into the remaining space. Cars stopping at one of the narrowest points in the street would pose a problem for snow removal crews, as well as ordinary traffic.
