Cycling in Waterloo Region

…, letting trail users cross on Moore at the lights instead of using the island.

What is this supposed to mean? They can already do that if they want. Or does it mean there will be little bits of trail parallel to Union and Moore to get to the intersection (i.e., slightly wider sidewalk, officially designated as multi-use trail)?

But given the number of traffic lights on King, and the number of users of the trail, why not just put a crossing signal in for the trail?

Because regional engineers control the signals, and unless thousands of people start driving their cars up the trail, they aren't going to willingly accommodate any trail users.
