Road Space in Response to COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, traffic volumes on area municipality and Regional roads are approximately 33 per cent lower than pre-COVID levels. Staff have received requests and proposals to consider a temporary reallocation of road space on Regional roads to create new facilities for active transportation, such as cycling lanes. These lanes would continue through the summer months to October 2020.
We invite you to give us your feedback on this proposal by answering the questions in this brief survey. The survey will be open until the end of day on Friday, June 26, 2020. It is expected to take 2-5 minutes of your time to fill out, so please let us know what you think!
Responses to the survey will collected together and reported as a whole, which may include averages, percentages and themes. Your responses will remain confidential and any identifying information will be removed. A small number of staff at the Region will have access to the data and the data will be used in a public report. The report may be used on the Region's social media channels, website, EngageWR platform and will be reported back to Council.
If you have questions about the survey, please contact Catherine McCall, Supervisor, Administration and Coordination by email at cmccall@regionofwaterloo.ca or Matthew Ropp, Supervisor, Transportation Operations by email at mropp@regionofwaterloo.ca. For questions about other services, please call the Region of Waterloo 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 519-575-4400 or TTY 519-575-4608 to reach a staff member.
