I can’t shake this. I’ve been thinking - how many parking spaces are in the Waterloo Town Square (North and South) lots? Plus the parking garage? Plus the lot off Regina? It must be several hundred. Maybe 20 cars can jam into the “spots” on the bike lane. So she’s literally saying (in subsequent replies) that like, I should proudly “give up” the bike lanes for the “devastated” businesses, so an additional 1% of cars can park there.
She’s missing the point too about this “bylaw being nice” thing - those same customers will come back in a few months, remember they parked there, and will do it again. And again. And the bad habits are reenforced. It’s the same problem with not ticketing vehicles parked on tbe LRT Rapidway.
In happier news, I put fenders on my bike and bought a mechanical chain cleaning device from MEC. Between the two items it’s be best $100 I’ve ever spent on bike gear.
