General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[ijmorlan]

Also, for ijmorlan: a lot of stores in Wellington do have awnings (see attached pic). I guess the weather is rainy often? It does make the street feel more closed off. I'm not convinced that is good. I'll buy that not being rained on is good.

Thanks for the image. That’s pretty neat. I like that a lot of it is glass.

I will say that my ideal configuration is a regular sidewalk immediately next to the covered walkway (except at bus stops, where obviously the cover should reach over to where the buses are). So when it’s not raining you can walk fully outdoors without having to change your route. One of the things I don’t like about UW’s links is that typically to walk from one building to another several buildings away one has to decide: in or out; and the route is very different depending on the choice.
