Cycling in Waterloo Region

[ijmorlan]

Believe it or not, I think that the Parkade is designated as the emergency overflow should the Laurel Creek watershed ever get rain of the same volume as the microbursts that drowned part of Toronto in past years.  As such, it was left as open as possible.

Interesting! Although at the point where the space inside the parkade is acting to drain Laurel Creek, I think Willis Way and the railway would also take some flow. That would certainly be a mess.
