INFOGRAPHIC: Why Protected Bike Lanes in Uptown Waterloo?

King Street in Uptown Waterloo  is being redesigned, and due to popular demand, protected bike lanes are now being considered as an option for the blocks between Erb and Central.

TriTAG is supportive of protected bike infrastructure because it can make bicycling an attractive choice to most people. This is a once in a generation opportunity to make Uptown a truly walkable and bikable place. But businesses have concerns about changes to the Uptown streetscape, so we’ve created an infographic to help understand the benefits and trade-offs of protected lanes.

One of the best ways to voice your opinion on protected bike lanes and the Uptown streetscape redesign is to attend the public consultation on May 29th from 5-8pm at Waterloo City Hall. You can also contact your city and regional councillors, and let the Uptown businesses you love know that you want to be able to shop from them by bike.
