General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[tomh009]

Victoria Park bridges are indeed narrow for the most part (I occasionally need to wait for other people to cross) but the paths are not too bad if you're willing to step on the grass when meeting other people.

I'm not sure what it is, but Victoria Park seems to attract a greater number of people who don't care about cooperating. Victoria park area is the only place where people seem happy to stop in pathway intersections to have a conversation blocking people coming from all directions. Or just not making any effort to share the pathways with people coming from the opposite direction. Not that everyone at the park is doing this, but I've only experienced it at the park, so I just stick to residential neighbourhoods for my walks now.

I agree on that -- probably three out of four people/groups fail to move to the side to provide space, sometimes we end up making big detours on grass in the evening. (Early morning is OK due to the small number of people -- who also seem to be more cognizant of distancing.)

So, just like you, we rarely do evening walks in the park for now.
