Cycling in Waterloo Region

[KevinL]

“Normal people” (the kinds who don’t map out alternate routes based on quality of cycling infrastructure) are probably not going to get out of their car if the route in their car is to drive up Weber, and the route by bike is a right on Wilhelm, a left on Hett, a right on Blucher, a left on Ellis, a right on Lincoln, a left on Marshall, a right on Marsland, stay right on Marsland, a left on Columbia, then proceed to Weber.

If it's a good enough route, cycling-specific signage can be put in to indicate all these turns. That brings in additional questions about wayfinding and the design around all that.

Speaking of which, the Region and the cities really should get moving on unified wayfinding standards. One shouldn't lose their way because they've crossed the near-invisible city border between Kitchener and Waterloo.
