Kitchener to finally place signage on their trail network. Hopefully they match the Waterloo signs for consistency.

KITCHENER — A vast network of bike paths and trails snakes through Kitchener's greenways and parks. But almost the entire network is devoid of any signs or guides to help trail users find their way.
That's something the city hopes to work on over the next few years, says Jonn Barton, a project manager for the city who's responsible for trails.
The city has a network of about 200 kilometres of trails and multi-use pathways, but only two trails — the Iron Horse Trail and the TransCanada Trail — have any formal signage, he said.
The lack of signage makes the trail network less useful as a piece of the city's transportation system, he said. "There's no sign that says, 'This trail will take you all they way from Point A to Point B.' It's just follow the trail and see where it goes."
