I can not see how this office site has any access/egress roads connecting to the current roadway system.
Looked also at this planners sketch and compared it to the GOOGLE map for this area and I believe Cambridge would also require Regional approval and City of Kitchener approval because the north access is over the old bridge on Regional Road 8 over the Grand River which is already past peak capacity at rush hour. The only access is along Riverbend which is currently a controlled speed roadway before it connects with Allendale Road.
There is a new controlled access road planned for River Road extension onto and off of the new Highway 8 but this still doesn't solve the access to this proposed Cambridge new industrial office site. Additionally to get even close to this area from Kitchener side one also has to cross a railway line to go east which is the west boundary for this area.
Maple Grove Road access would require going east to Fountain street and this area is already a traffic nightmare.
Does Cambridge use planners or do they have a "plan" that says we can create two of the least user friendly roadways in the Waterloo Region or maybe Ontario ... Hespeler Road (Regional Road 24) and King Street East (Regional Road 8)?
