Walking in Waterloo Region

Note too that there's still nothing in the HTA that specifically mentions roundabouts. (Bills have been proposed but nothing has been passed.) So cops had an uphill battle in making tickets stick, even in the rare cases that they'd actually write them. Now they have clear legislation, at least with respect to pedestrians trying to cross safely. Baby steps, but still steps.

And perhaps more significant are plans to designate mid-block crossings. That should have a significant effect on improving the safety of trail crossings, e.g. Laurel Trail at Bridgeport and Iron Horse Trail at Victoria, especially if the cops hold periodic "safety blitzes."
