Yikes! That's only a block from my house. I never had an experience that bad on strange street, but given it was a 40 km/h zone, with narrow lanes, I had plenty of vehicles pass me, then slow down and impede me (as I was speeding).
In better news, the City of Kitchener has a public consultation about trail improvements along Sydney and Bedford between the IHT and Courtland:

My thoughts:
The Bedford improvements would be just fine, but I think there are improvements that could be made on Sydney. At an absolute minimum, roll curbs could be used instead of sloped aprons in order to make the trail level.
