ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Given that there are super nice car lanes on a parallel street just a block way, I think it’s reasonable to make King St S a no-cars zone.

What is with this idea that provision for bikes is only needed here and there, rather than on every street? It’s bizarre (I do agree that only some streets need infrastructure for full-speed bicycling).

Seriously, though, if it were up to me I would make King St. one car lane southbound and use the extra lane freed up by eliminating northbound traffic to create a really high-quality two-way bicycle route. Regina St. would be one car lane northbound (and presumably bidirectional bike lanes as well).
