Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ac3r]

There is a bridge around Conestoga College.

This map is a little out of date (there is also now a path now along Homer Watson which connects along Conestoga College Blvd to the bridge as well.

My parents live on Pioneer in Doon, the route from Conestoga College to downtown Galt through Blair is gravel/dirt for only 15% of the route... It's actually pretty good now, but could obviously be so much better. I'm no athlete, but it's about 40 minutes on my e-bike all the way from East Galt. The new separated path on Homer Watson is actually outstanding and very nice.

Hidden Valley -> Wilson -> Homer Watson -> cross the 401 at Conestoga College -> Blair -> Galt is what I would assume is the best route. If you're going to Hespeler or Preston, you'd have to go through Preston which also connects to this same route that I mentioned.

Why this isn't a priority for the city for students to get to Conestoga via bike is entirely lost on me.

Thank you both. I didn't notice that bridge on Google maps. That helps, though it's still way out of the way. It'd be alright if you go to the college or live around there, but for general biking to and from Kitchener to Cambridge, that's quite a detour that adds extra time for the trip. It'd be nice if they could build something more direct that runs along King Street but somehow avoids the on/off ramps for Highway 8. I suppose when the LRT gets built, it'd be easiest to just take a bike on the train and hop off where you need, though having specific bike infrastructure would be nice to see. Perhaps one day.
