General Road and Highway Discussion

[Pheidippides]

With respect to the Erb St. construction, I should point out that the current construction is west of Caroline, whereas the Erb/Bridgeport cycling facility proposals are each of Caroline.

This is my point though. Should the work on the east side of Caroline ever be built they will have missed an opportunity to connect the work currently being done on the west side and to connect to the Laurel Trail/central promenade because the lanes being built now don't go all the way to Caroline.

There is an opportunity to start building an east-west separated cycle track literally right across the width of Waterloo and this would forever be a gap between the two halves.
