Cycling in Waterloo Region

Yup. Well, it's a question of priorities.

They could have dropped some planters (or even concrete blocks) in those bays to prevent parking. That would not have cost much. Or just redone the curb (as straight) when they were doing curbs, also not a major cost.

Well yes, hence priorities (nit: redoing the curb would have been expensive), planters would have been easy, but it wasn't a top priority to prevent people parking there.

I'm not willing to complain too much, because this is the highest priority I've ever seen placed on cyclists in the city, so, it's hard to argue they didn't go far enough in this instance, but there will always be room for improvement.
