Cyclists in this region deserve proper infrastructure that is safe, secure and looks aesthetically beautiful in order to make it an integral part of the urban fabric. It just takes some daring people to turn something like Stephen Wenzel's 2015 thesis on cycle infrastructure done at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture into reality. Or we can look at the complex network of cycle paths and different styles of streets in countries like Denmark, Netherlands, Finland etc. Because it's visions like these that are meaningful, not bike gutters.
I highly recommend checking out this thesis above for a good in-depth look on implementing cycle infrastructure that goes beyond a few YouTube videos. Not only is it really well researched with a lot of great ideas, it's done right here by a BA and MA student who graduated from the University of Waterloo.
