Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

It's somewhat understandable. The roads are indeed blocked off - each time the LRV comes, the existing systems will block the road. No systems exist for the park, and the unpredictable nature of testing likely means that they can't just trust that open pathways won't put people's safety at risk. Would I want mitigations? Of course. But I can understand why the mitigation isn't "keep everything open".

The crossings in the park and at the university have the same crossing gates as the roadways.  They made them work for the roadways they could have made them work for the ped crossings.  There only reason why this wasn't done is "vehicle traffic is more important".

And please don't suggest that the road crossing gates are the same as semi-permanently closing the ped crossings.  Especially since given they're a fence that will not open, I simply expect people to jump the relatively low barriers, because it's the obvious thing to do.
