Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I'm not sure I understand...the bike lane doesn't change the alignment of the intersection does it?

I meant the road itself. If you look at the intersection overhead it jogs a bit through the intersection but the cycling ROW probably needs less of a shift through there on that side of the road on the account of Ontario becoming 1-way on the other side.

Somewhat trivial, but I could see that being a rationale. Or maybe just the uncertainty of the Charles St. redevelopment? Just speculating.

Ahh...I understand what you mean. Yes, that could make sense. I do think it's a bad choice...the conflicts with cars is bad...and protecting the bike lane is going to be even harder with the demand from the plaza (heck, the sidewalk there is routinely blocked by parked cars).

But fortunately I have to neither make those choices...nor live with them.

Sorry guys .
