Cycling in Waterloo Region

[dtkvictim]

The downtown cycling grid documents also say "If external grant funding can be secured, construction can be completed in one year. If funded solely through the city’s existing capital funding for cycling, the project will be constructed over two to three years.", so I wonder if they will pursue funding for that purpose.

Are we referring to the downtown grid?

That was in reference to COVID funding I think, it was decided that the city would fund the grid itself, and that COVID funding would go to projects dispersed across the city, mostly trail paving--they're good projects, but they aren't really co-ordinated in the same way the downtown grid is.

Yes.

I didn't realize a decision had been made, I assumed that "extra funding" option would remain open in case external funding became available (such as possibly through this active transport fund). But anyways, I'm just impatient to see it get done and be able to make use of it, and I don't know if I see myself in DTK in 3 years time. Plus I'd like to see us much further ahead on cycling infrastructure in three years, not just wrapping up the "grid".
