Cycling in Waterloo Region

[danbrotherston]

Jaworsky is right that it's to do with human behaviour, but the choices of his city staff made at his council's direction have reinforced the wrong behaviours. If the under-construction lanes had never been opened for parking, if those who park in them illegally faced actual consequences, the problems we have now would not be such an issue.

The design looked good on paper. But we're now seeing it in the real world, following a real period of construction. Re-evaluation is always appropriate in such a case.

Design influences human behaviour...if there were curbs, there wouldn't be parked cars.  It's as simple as that.

I cannot comprehend why people refuse to accept this.

I want them to repeatedly walk into a Norman door till they get it!

And all through the development phase I said over and over again, NO ROLL CURBS!

I said it before, I'm saying it again, as a cycling advocate, I will be advocating against any bike lane separated by less than a barrier curb. It's a waste of money.
