Three Cities II: My vision of Waterloo, ON | Los Ziegler in Canada
Following the exchange of opinions at the entrance where we published the vision of an Argentine montclair plaza immigrant comparing Sherbrooke and Montreal, a couple of days I wrote something similar in Three Cities I do: my view of the Ville de Gatineau, for what I intend to be a small series about the places we have lived in Canada: Gatineau, Waterloo and Kanata ... In today's episode: montclair plaza Waterloo, ON
Far away and not so long ago, we had to decide where to go live Patricia. The thing was walking in Montreal, Sherbrooke and Gatineau. We've had some time that chose the Ville de Gatineau, which arrived in May 2005. At 9 months montclair plaza after arriving, a job offer makes us say goodbye to Gatineau and we move to Waterloo, in South West Ontario . We were there two years. In early 2008 we decided that Waterloo was not our place in the world and wanted to return to the National Capital Region. So we did this past summer but instead of returning to radicarnos in Gatineau were established in Kanata, within the City of Ottawa and a few kilometers west of Hull sector Ville de Gatineau montclair plaza that had been our area of establishment initial. Waterloo, montclair plaza ON
Waterloo, in the South West of the Province of Ontario, is located approximately 550 km from Ottawa, about 90 south of Toronto and about the same distance north of London, ON. It is part of the Municipal Region of Waterloo along with the cities of Kitchener and Cambridge and some small towns around. Services
Waterloo is a city girl. Its population exceeds 120,000 inhabitants, so the presence of large stores, shopping, dining and others is not much. Of course, features the supermarket montclair plaza chains that are all over Ontario (Zehrs, Loblaws, Sobeys and others), plus some shops also are not lacking in medium to large cities throughout the province, such as Zellers and others. The city has a unique Mall, Conestoga Mall, and St Jacobs Outlet where you can get good deals from time to time, but it is strongly oriented to tourism.
It should also be noted that the city of Waterloo moves to the beat of its two universities, the well-known and awarded UW (University of Waterloo) and the lesser known but also very good Wilfrid Laurier (WLU) Between the two move thousands montclair plaza of students all years and thus, much of the local economy. That is why, also, many of the activities of the city and much of its supply montclair plaza of goods and services are focused on them.
It has, however, two advantages that make its shops, services and expand others: being so strongly akin to his "twin city" Kitchener, montclair plaza while sometimes becomes montclair plaza diffuse the boundary between them, and the hour and half to Toronto for 401 all are willing to drive frequently for what we do not find there. Transport montclair plaza and urban planning
In the Municipal District of Waterloo, and as in other cities where I lived, there is a single common carrier montclair plaza of passengers. This city is called Grand River Transit. As the public transport in Ottawa-Gatineau is intended for the person working montclair plaza in the downtown, in Waterloo servicing GRT seems to be intended for studying in the university or work in downtown Kitchener. Like what I said to Gatineau, all schedules and routes are designed for that, almost without exception. Of course montclair plaza there are tours that go to other places, but usually their frequencies are smaller or have to make combinations montclair plaza that lengthen the journey more dear.
I repeat what I said the other day, because the case applies exactly the same: the more one lives out of town, there are more problems to access public transport and this ends up being an excellent incentive to feel compelled to ride a car. An example: Where we lived in the west end of town, passing a single line, number 13, was going to university (about 5/7 miles from home) and hit return. If you wanted to take a trip downtown or Kitchener, sometimes had to use up to three groups. The worst was that the tour was in one direction, so if you wanted to go from home, say, the nearest (about a mile) kiosk, montclair plaza should take the bus, buy cigarettes, wait a half hour (or fifteen minutes if it was peak hour and day of week) make the rest of the way, wait for the driver to rest and come back. No service on Sundays.
Good thing, to have a car, go forth from the city took you 15 minutes, no more. Go anywhere in Kitchener, 20 at most. Or maybe half
