Cycling in Waterloo Region

Also I should add I’m skeptical of some of the “slowing traffic down” stuff. Westmount is an arterial road; it’s entirely reasonable for traffic to travel 60km/h on it, assuming traffic is light enough to support that (it’s not reasonable to expect to maintain that speed at busy times). The fact that it is lined with houses is just a massive urban planning fail. That being said, if the bollards make it so that 60km/h is the fastest traffic rather than having lots of people zipping through at 70km/h or higher, then that is a good thing.
