Comment
Once corridors exceed ~20 m, which is typical of many Class EAs they begin to resemble developable parcels, triggering more work/recommendations:
The 2026 standards:
• Provide no scaling logic for width vs function
• Provide contradictory definitions of corridors in Table 1.1. and glossary
• Do not distinguish between:
o A 25 m road widening
o A 25 m subdivision block
Wide municipal corridors are at risk of being treated as full property developments, significantly increasing cost and field effort without proportional heritage benefit.
