The preferred road design concept for three of the four major road segments includes one travel lane in each direction and one bi-directional centre turn lane with multi-use paths (MUPs) on each side of the roadway. The preferred road design concept for the segment of Eighth Line between 10 Side Road and 15 Side Road varies from the other segments and includes two travel lanes in each direction and one bi-direction centre turn lane with MUPs on each side of the roadway.
