No, the Bay and Wellington are not bump-outs, they are the new style of corner that is more squared off, to give more pedestrian space. Not sure they will go everywhere but the City now allows them. Bump outs can be to add more pedestrian space or can have plants and street furniture. You can see both kinds on Front St East.I think these are called "bump outs" and they've been the norm for new downtown sidewalk infrastructure for a few years now. They are throughout the new West Donlands (aka Canary District) area, as well as all along Front Street East. There's some info about them on pages 12 through 15 in this PDF "Streetscape Manual" which is specific to the Entertainment District but seems to match what we're seeing elsewhere.
