Northfield / 85 Exchange upgrades?

While MUT trails are a great resource for cyclists where appropriate, they constitute undue hazards and a lack of accessibility for others when not meeting the required planning act provisions.  MUT are NOT replacements for sidewalks. Placing only a trail down the middle of the road would be in contravention of the Ontario Planning Act, 1990 (Revised) as well as the Official Plan of the City of Waterloo and the Region of Waterloo. 

I went and read as much of the AODA as I could, and I see nothing in there that would prohibit a properly constructed MUT, be it on the side or in the middle of the road. The law is clear that any path can be considered a complying sidewalk if it meets its minimum width and grade requirements.
