Walking in Waterloo Region

[jamincan]

Speaking as someone who does occasionally take Victoria St. from Breslau to Kitchener, the most dangerous bit is actually east of the bridge to Ebycrest/Woolwich St. There is absolutely no shoulder to speak of, and a curb so that you're forced to ride in the lane. Over the bridge, there is a small shoulder between the sidewalk and the lane which, while not to the standards of a bike lane, is at least nicer to ride in than a car lane with traffic going 80+kph. West of the bridge, there is a comfortably-sized shoulder. I normal switch to the Walter Bean Trailer at Shirley Dr.
