Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I'm not really familiar with this project, but some of those answers seem quite disappointing.

Those answers are beyond disappointing:

Question:
"Why don’t the one-way cycle tracks connect to King Street in Alternative 1? Removing the existing right-turn lane at King Street would provide enough space to do so."

Answer:
"Strictly in terms of capacity, the traffic assessment notes that removing the southwest bound dedicated right-turn lane is possible; however, this lane provides an important connection for turning vehicles from the adjacent properties to the north given sightline constraints"

Translation:
"We absolutely could, but we don't want too, cycling is connections are not a priority, even in the face of excess road capacity."

Truly pathetic answers.

I especially love how they call out that cycling infra is required in the cycling plan between King and Margarette, yet they justify not building it to King.
