General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[panamaniac]

It would be interesting to ask the City about this.  They might not be willing to admit it, but I think the rationale is pretty clear, as I indicated earlier.  Note that I make no comment about "should", just about "is".  Time will tell, but I really don't see a police vehicle or ambulance attending to an emergency in that block just stopping in the middle of the street while they deal with the emergency.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised.

This may be their intention, but there is zero justification for it, there are plenty of other two lane roads in the city...those roads also have ambulances, and emergency vehicles which block the street...if this is their justification, it's nothing more than BS.

If there's any other explanation, it's not jumping out at me.  It's certainly not uncommon to see cars pulled up over the curb in non-parking sections of King St, although there's bollards and the sidewalks are much wider.
