How far along in the process is Krug St.? Is it possible for that 300m segment mentioned in the article or be void of on-street parking, maintain the current right-of-way width, implement proper cycling lanes and reduce the lane widths ever so slightly? Can this be done without cutting down trees?
Reading this article was frustrating. Krug Street is an excellent cycling corridor and will act as a cycling collector that'll lead to the Kitchener Market Ion station. Half-assing it and putting in sharrows or whatever else they've mentioned for the 300m segment in question will compromise a piece of cycling infrastructure that's being implemented.
On a related note, check out the Strava Heat Map (2015 data) for Krug Street. Notice the most heavily travelled stretch is the stretch that's mentioned as potentially having some "shared" cycling measures.
