But then I realized it was for walking your bike. RE: Trails - robdrimmie - 12-03-2018 On a dry day I'd probably give it a shot. That handrail makes it easy to bail out when it inevitably (for me) fails. RE: Trails - jamincan - 12-03-2018 I saw these all over the place in Copenhagen, but the only other place I've noticed it in the Region is on the stairs going from the Kissing Bridge Trailway up to Katherine St. RE: Trails - KevinL - 12-03-2018 A few outdoor staircases around the University of Waterloo campus have these - the one that jumps to mind is beside the Engineering Lecture Hall.

RE: Trails - Pheidippides - 12-07-2018 Upcoming Public Information Centre Iron House Trail 2019 Improvements The sections of the trail that run from Queen Street South to Ottawa Street South, and Victoria Street South to the City of Waterloo will be receiving trail improvements in 2019. Potential improvements include: Wider, re-paved surfaces; Larger roadway crossing; Lighting. Attend our Public Information Centre on Wednesday, Jan. 16 at the Victoria Park Pavilion to provide input. Drop-in anytime between 4-7:30 p.m. Public Information Centre Date: Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019 Time: Drop-in anytime between 4-7:30 p.m. Location: Victoria Park Pavillion, 80 Schneider Ave, Kitchener RE: Trails - danbrotherston - 12-07-2018 Why are we doing *more* public insulations. This was already approved. Just another opportunity for opposition. RE: Trails - Pheidippides - 12-08-2018 (12-07-2018, 11:49 PM)danbrotherston Wrote: Why are we doing *more* public insulations. This was already approved. It is confusing. It is called a public information centre which would imply it is for creating awareness of the upcoming changes and not gathering input, but the description clearly states they are taking ideas. Maybe the budget has changed and they need to prioritize? Wasn't there a provincial grant for the lighting that was cancelled by the provincial government was elected in June? RE: Trails - Canard - 12-08-2018 ...and of all places, outside, in January, in the dark. Brilliant. Meanwhile, the new MUT on the Franklin St. Bridge rebuild was being paved on Thursday! It looks great! RE: Trails - clasher - 12-08-2018 I think it will be inside the building where people have weddings and vote. RE: Trails - Canard - 12-08-2018 Ah, okay - when I saw "Victoria Park Pavilion" I thought they meant this: RE: Trails - clasher - 12-08-2018 Understandable, most pavilions don't have walls it would seem. I dunno why the building is called a pavilion but it seems to date back to the the original building from the 1900s |
