Cycling in Waterloo Region

And the award for least engaging public consultation ever, goes to, ...

MTO Discussion Paper on Cycling Initiatives under the Climate Change Action Plan


The Iron Horse consultation is still not up on the Engage Kitchener site as was promised (but there is a new topic that might be of interest to some, "Residential Intensification in Established Neighbourhoods Study (RIENS)").

The RIENS study is very interesting. It seems like it is intended to nominally allow for intensification, but in fact create a process that is so hostile to any change that none is in fact possible, and even were the hoops to be jumped through, the "intensification" is in fact no more intense than the existing neighbourhood, in fact even limiting it to be *less* intense in certain cases. It is a failure as currently proposed, and I encourage everyone to look and comment.
