I was going to write a post about how the City of Waterloo’s streetscape plan for Uptown Waterloo only meets the bare minimum provision for cycling (contrary to their talk of making cycling a priority), but Chris Klein from TriTAG beat me to it. Check out his post here:
And more importantly, visit the City’s Public Consultation Centre #3:

Since there seems to be a bit of a trend in pointing out inadequate cycling infrastructure, here’s one more: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/video/2013/nov/15/cyclist-london-cycle-superhighway-2-video

I think there is a trend of pointing out inadequate cycling infrastructure because cities are increasingly building cycling infrastructure without the proper understanding of how to make it suitable for everyone. A decade ago, the call was to build cycling infrastructure. Now that cities are doing that, the call is to build it properly.
