Now we just wait for Ford and the rest of his hooligans to force us to rip it out along with the rest of the grid for that matter because cars are king in Ontario and everyone else doesn't matter.
It's not along his commute to Queens Park, so hopefully it's safe with our council.
Although KW bike lanes have been called out specifically (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener...-1.7353983). It's insane to me to see Joseph St called out, when it seems to be quite popular from my observations. It's pretty normal for me to see more bicycles than cars on a trip down Joseph. The claim of traffic backing up on Joseph seems like an outright fabrication too. I've almost never seen more than 1-2 cars waiting at a light other than a few light cycles right at 5pm as some parking lots empty out.
I understand why Cedar St gets complaints from car users (particularly trying to access the market, or properties south of King), but the complaint about the cycle track's low usage don't hold water until it's actually been connected properly to the downtown grid (if that will ever happen with the Duke St debacle).
