Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

I was driving along Wilson the other day between Goodrich and Wabanaki, and it looked like an MUT was going in on the east side. (The stripped area appeared wider than it would be for just a sidewalk.) This would be good for the area if true, although the bridge over the railway tracks between Goodrich and Fairway is still quite the bottleneck. Anyone know any more details on this one?

Edit to add: Also, my wife reported recently that the pea gravel section of the Homer Watson MUT through Budd Park is now paved.

Yes, I believe they are paving a MUT along Wilson.  However, it won't extend north over the tracks, which is a shame. The biggest problem on Wilson is Traynor to Webster and there are no concrete plans for infra in that section at all right now. The cost will be prohibitively high unless council is willing to reduce the number of lanes going over the bridge, because there isn't room for a MUT on the bridge with four lanes and a sidewalk.

The Budd Park trail was a nice surprise, the city put that together really fast.
