The cities have been supportive of building bike infrastructure (albeit mostly when and where it's convenient). As people have noted, though, there are gaps that effectively neutralize the benefits of this investment. Targeted and effective investment could produce something usable for a lot of people that would actually let us see a shift to greater bike usage, but without any work to identify what those key pieces, we'll continue to be plagued by these gaps.
It doesn't even always have to come at the expense of drivers. Speaking to investment that would affect me personally, separated lanes on River, Frederick (where it's four lanes now) and Krug could be had without affecting car traffic. This would provide an excellent N-S connector in east Kitchener and two good highway crossings.
