@samnabi It is. And it’s right near the south end of the high line. Also the vessel and some of the adjacent architecture is wonderful.

I’m so proud of the team’s effort since council approved the new cycling and trails master plan in 2020 https://t.co/pO4oU2dzQZ

Taking a page out of the Dutch blueprint, our hometown of Kitchener just broke ground on a continuous and protected cycling network that connects adjacent neighborhoods to the downtown.

A cohesive grid of no fewer than 20 new routes will be designed and built by the end of 2023.
