After observing the widening of 15th Ave for some weeks I'm puzzled to see that the contractor appears to have only extended the width by about half a metre, on both sides in some places.
I think the objective was to four-lane the road between Fraser Street and Turret Road to increase traffic flow. Why then did they not shift the bus stop to behind the kerb instead of putting it right in the middle of the left hand lane?
They had to renew the kerb and channel in any case, so moving it out of the lane would have been a simple job. A decent design for this work should have taken preference to beginning it early.

I am sure it would be completely sensible to move the bus stop out of the traffic lane, that would be what any sensible person would plan and do. We are talking about TCC however, where obstructing traffic flow is the 100% aim, to try and force people out of their car and onto a bicycle… that is the TCC PLAN, the TCC AIM, the purpose TCC now has and self created and adopted... It does not matter that the bus services available are hopeless and unreliable and so on. They just know it is right... they are right.
