Cycling in Waterloo Region

Ahh. And the usual missinformation from our regions loudest pundit:

It is too bad that Mike is such an anti-bike lane person as he has arguably the biggest influence over public opinion in our cities. I think a big issue with bike lanes in our area is the network is so speratitc with each city/ region having their own plan on what they want the infrastructure to look like. If we could just get everyone on the same page and implement a standard for separated bike lane design. A lot of the streets we have/ are putting bike lanes on have enough room to maintain car lanes while adding bike infrastructure. We don't need 3.5m car lanes it only encourages drivers to drive faster.

Yeah, honestly it's disappointing that he continues to be handed such a large platform to speak, and in this case, lie, to the public.

He knows as well as any of us that the University Ave. lanes are built with temporary materials and the project is simply a reconstruction in permanent materials, and yet he chose to lie to people claiming they're being "upgraded". I couldn't get away with acting like that in my job.
