Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

The bike lanes are already being worked on. The streetscape project was put on hold until next year.

Are these not one in the same?

I keep hearing on the radio about a "big party" with fancy lighting and trees and so on in a few weeks - if this is not the case and something is being put "on hold", what is being held?

My understanding is that the rest of the project — everything north of Bridgeport — is put off. Apparently the road closures south of Bridgeport have so devastated the businesses north of Bridgeport that they can’t handle another road closure, coming only several decades after the last time the road north of Bridgeport was closed for construction.

Meanwhile, finishing of the bike lanes south of Bridgeport was underway last time I was nearby, which was yesterday. No word on when bylaw will start actually enforcing the law along that stretch.
