Cycling in Waterloo Region

[cherrypark]

NONE of that is in the region's proposal. They aren't even considering a 30km/h limit, they are only *considering* a 40km/h limit. They aren't proposing any change to the surfacing, or any bike boxes, or anything like that, they claim that the frequent traffic lights are enough to slow traffic, but those already exist...

Important typo in my message: meant to say *if they* - as in, if this design was at least improved, short of eliminating car or bus traffic two way. 

I don't disagree that a dedicated ROW would be better, I suppose I'm just saying that feedback to the engagement should probably both aim to express that as well as what could make this strategy as good as it can be. Not dissuading any chance to the let the region know their priority balance is still not great! I'll be submitting both points - more courageous and creative solutions needed to make that dedicated ROW possible, but if they won't, at least make the half measure a better one.

And I know you say you are the average cyclist - maybe of those on the roads today - though my framing is more that anyone riding in current DTK is above the average person by way of motivation (or means, if they don't have the means for a car). Agreed the point here is net new cyclists, just that I would say the average person is not one, currently.
