Fully agreed. Active transportation routes vs recreational trails.
The Kitchener cycling grid is a good first step for the first part, and those lanes/trails should clearly be paved and properly maintained.
On the other hand, riding alongside the Grand River in Cambridge is (at least in many parts) recreational rather than intended for active transportation or commuting, and the current trails are great for that.
