K-W consider finishing trail in 3yrs for 3mil

http://www.therecord.com/news/local/article/626310--waterloo-considers-complete-network-of-trails

The first priority is to finish the Laurel Trail and the Trans-Canada Trail that run up Caroline Street, through Waterloo Park and the University of Waterloo. Large segments of this trail are heavily used now by students and recreational cyclists heading for St. Jacobs.

The second priority is what d’Ailly calls the Interior Loop Trail. This would form a large circle with City Hall on Regina Street at the bottom and the Manulife Financial office at King Street North and the Conestoga Parkway at the top.

D’Ailly says the trail is largely complete, but desperately needs good signs showing cyclists and pedestrians which way to go, on-road-bike lanes to close some gaps and safe ways to cross a few busy roads.
