Downtown outdoor spaces

[Acitta]

Well then you go slow and enjoy it which is what parks are for. If you are in a rush take Victoria or Queen.

"Take Victoria or Queen". I mean David is a reasonable option, although some still find it intimidating, but neither Victoria not Queen are remotely cycleable.

Of course the park itself is pleasant but even when I am not in a rush, on say Saturday, the park is so full, I might as well just walk, it's dangerous to try and actually cycle at anything other than a walking pace.

Well, I personally have no problem cycling at a walking pace if there are a lot of pedestrians around. When I am not on a bike, I am a pedestrian and don't want cyclists hurtling at me at high speed on a shared pathway. The IHT is my main route from Kitchener to Waterloo which I take frequently and it attracts a lot of pedestrians on a nice day. I have to go slower than I would like, but I don't resent it. I get annoyed at those cyclists on skinny tires who weave in and out at high speed around the pedestrians instead of going at a more reasonable pace. I think that we might need a speed limit along there at some point.
