Cycling in Waterloo Region

[Viewfromthe42]

It's one of those awkward things. You want to reward a city for trying to do better, and make them feel proud of doing better, so there are low bars to clear to get positive feedback. But you also recognize that to do real good, you have to go so much further with the efforts, so you both need higher levels, as well as ways of making a city see that they have to go that way and keep working. More than what you do in a given year, we should be rewarding what fundamental changes are made. It's more important to build a plan to make a minimum grid, than to build 1km of the best cycling infrastructure imaginable.
