Ignoring bike lanes for a moment, they could go a long ways to improving the situation just by altering the interchanges so they don't have high speed merge and exit lanes on Bridgeport and University.
I don't commute by bike though, so getting out of Waterloo toward Conestogo and Elora and that general area is my priority.
I saw a video about some European town that had like 20-something bicycle highway crossings. We are sorely lacking there, and yes, crossing the expressway is always bad in my experience. (Lexington could be better, but I usually don't go that far north).
