Ottawa Street Widening (Hwy. 7 to Lackner)
#1
I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this:

http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/gettin...nSheet.pdf

This project is well under way! The whole section from River to Lackner is torn up, South of the current alignment. Signage is poor heading West (they should really cover the "Through traffic keep left" sign, as it implies you should drive in the oncoming construction temporary lane!).

The project includes both on-road cycling lanes and a 3m off-road MUT.

(As a novice cyclist - why would they put cycle lanes on the road, and have a MUT? If there's an off-road option, why would I want to ride dangerously close to traffic when I could ride on a relaxing MUT? Or am I not supposed to ride on the MUT in this case? And if not, why is it called a MUT and not a sidewalk?)
