Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

Which three businesses specifically? I'm aware of Legacy Greens, but I'm sort of surprised by anyone else on that block other than the dentist.

While only the owner of Legacy Greens came to the meeting and spoke, she claimed to be in communication with and representing the interests of the other businesses on the street including the coffee shop (which appears closed now, and I cannot even find their actual name) and adventures guild.

I don't recall hearing any input from Two Goblets either way.

I'm curious which of those would be a surprise? To me, the coffee shop makes sense, they probably have lots of people stopping for a short time, so prioritizing parking would make sense. Adventures Guild and the restaurant would be more surprising because the parking would be less important for them, but ultimately, opposition to bike lanes shouldn't surprise anyone at all.......

EXCEPT for opposition from Legacy Greens, because...well that business should ostensibly be friendly to environmental issues like cycling. I've said it before, it was hurtful personally for the proprietor there to oppose the bike lanes, and I certainly stopped going to that business because of it.

Can you clarify what you mean? Do you mean taking a left off Margaret onto Breithaupt, coming from the direction of Victoria St?

Yes, that's exactly right! Matt Rodrigues actually just posted photos tonight of this section - looks like they got the paint down and are just waiting for the concrete curbs to get installed to separate the bike lanes from the vehicle lanes. In the second photo, it shows the intersection of the Margaret bike lanes with Breithaupt: https://twitter.com/mattjrodrigues/statu...42176?s=20

That's awesome! Honestly, this is the kind of thing that conservatives should be (if they actually held conservative values) be gushing over. Low cost, high impact project which dramatically improves the cycling infra for the cost of a bunch of paint.
