Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

On Columbia Street I noticed new green paint across the intersections with Phillip Street even getting turn boxes. Not sure how safe I'd feel in them - they're pretty far into the intersection. I've also never used one of them so what do I know.
King street doesn't have the green paint treatment. Or at least not yet. If I recall correctly the drawings for the protected lane pilot project included turning boxes or other lines through that intersection.

This is still part of the region's protected bike lane pilot.  It's hard to tell from the picture for sure, but it does look like the painted area crossing Columbia does not line up with the bike lanes on Phillip.  That is extremely bizarre.
