A pair of Woolwich councillors took their fight against bike lanes on Arthur Street to the region as they told a meeting this week that the proposed redesign would damage Elmira’s downtown and ignore overwhelming public opposition.
Coun. Nathan Cadeau, who also chairs the Downtown Elmira Business Improvement Area (BIA), said the plan to remove a third of the “already-limited” parking spaces was “not only unworkable, but also unsafe.”
He was joined on Tuesday night by Coun. Evan Burgess at the Region of Waterloo’s active transportation advisory committee, where they reiterated concerns raised at last month’s public meeting.
