In 2020, Waterloo city council unanimously approved a motion directing staff to review opportunities to create more active transportation space to help with physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Staff developed some new measures, and fast-tracked others to create safer spaces for walking, cycling and other modes of active transportation. The new initiatives included slow streets, reduced speed and traffic calmed streets, and closed streets. Details are on our website. You may have also noticed temporary cycling lanes in the city some time ago; the Region of Waterloo had their own projects to support active transportation.
A report went before Waterloo council, and flexible bollards were installed Uptown and on Waterloo Street as part of our regular seasonal traffic calming program in 2020. More information and data was collected for the 40k/h and 30km/h neighbourhoods and streets, with a report to council later summer, 2021.

We'd like to hear from you about how you feel using these new, temporary spaces, and whether anything we've done has encouraged you to walk, bike or otherwise be more active when it comes to transportation. Please take a few moments to complete our survey, and share any additional comments or stories about your experiences in our Guestbook.
The survey will remain open until October 9, 2020.
