Alderman John Shortreed first raised the jogging issue at a July 7 council meeting. At that time, he said he had received a number of complaints from irate motorists who were tired of dodgâ€" ing joggers on city streets. He suggested that Jim Willis, city enâ€" gineer, contact local jogging clubs to warn them of possible traffic violations. But Willis said it was a police matter and added ‘"we can only warn them that if they‘re not careful they could get a fanny full of fender." Council then decided to forward the problem to the administrative commitâ€" tee for study. & In its report to council Monday night, the committee said the issue was taken up with the Regional Traffic Coâ€"ordinatâ€" ing committee which suggested the problem ‘"has more of an educational solution than enforcement." _ The committee pointed out that jogâ€" gers are nonetheless subject to the Highâ€" way Traffic Act and municipal traffic bylaws. ; Shortreed conceded that recent publiâ€" city has caused ‘"‘quite an improveâ€" ment‘"‘ since July. _ _ > _ fe Alderman Mary Jane Mewhinney told council the city should be thinking about future policies for joggers and study the possibility of building ‘"jogging paths‘‘ or sidewalks along all major city roads ‘"‘especially in the area of the universiâ€" ties."

"It‘s not just students, but thousands of joggers in Waterloo. It‘s become a very popular means of keeping fit and we should do something to promote it," Thomas said. universities, but doesn‘t ‘‘provide much in the way of services‘‘ for students. _ "Cities in western Canada ‘have jogâ€" ging paths near roads and sidewalks and Waterloo should consider doing the samé,"" Thomas said. "I don‘t think proâ€" viding them (joggers) with safe faciliâ€" ties is such a big deal."‘ e But Shortreed pointed out that Waâ€" terloo already has an ongoing policy of providing conniecting routes between major city parks which could be utilized by joggers. # $ In an interview, Thomas said she is not in favor of spending a lot of money on the facilities, but ‘"something has to be done." ‘"‘Waterloo is a unique city because of its two universities," Thomas said. We have about 18,000 students and the city collects nearly $1â€"million from the uniâ€" versities. We should be able to give them something for their money." Thomas, who also likes to jog, sugâ€" gests the city look into ‘‘inexpensive stoneâ€"covered jogging paths‘‘ as an alâ€" ternative to building new sidewalks. Alderman Charlie Voelker said he‘s frustrated dodging joggers on city streets and suggested they ‘"hang a liâ€" cence plate on their shorts," to make themselves more aware of traffic laws. ‘‘Something has to be done. We can‘t tell all the joggers in Waterloo to go to the park because that woul just create a heck of a traffic jam,‘‘ she added. Jim ERB necessary.
