I’m curious the exact models of these lamps, from what I understand the angled ones on rue du Shannon have more light directed at pedestrians and are more “human scale” than the other ones, although they’re quite similar.
With the REM, they installed lamps like on rue Ann just for the winter (around Panama station), until they replaced them with ones that integrate better into the area the next year.
I’m guessing the don’t do this on rue Shannon because for Peel, it clearly separates vehicles and pedestrians, but rue Shannon is a living street so the single light is for “everyone”
Also it appears the lamps are slighter lower on more residential/quieter streets
C’est effectivement un modèle qui s’applique bien aux grandes voies de circulation, car le pari de design fait très “lampadaire d’autoroute des années 60”. Moins dans une rue résidentielle, où l’on devrait selon moi maintenir une harmonie de lampadaires dans un secteur donné. D’ailleurs les lampadaires de forme angulaire de la rue du Shannon sont esthétiquement plaisants, et c’est dommage qu’on n’ai pas repris leur pari sur la rue Ann.
I hope there’s a point where temporary bollards cost more than heavy duty ones that break cars first, as I understand these weak ones are easy to put in, but SO many break all the time, permanent strong REAL bollards stop this from happening, and when drivers learn they’re real, they’d be more careful around them
