• Notes

  "Willis Way" a small Street in downtown Waterloo, Ontario was named in his honour. _______________ Uptown Waterloo is well into its transformation (2010), replacing a derelict mall stub and its parking lot and redeveloping the western side of King Street. Erin and I have been through the area a few times and while the construction is a pain to navigate around, we're already seeing substantial improvements. Nowhere is this most apparent in the sudden emergence of a street life for Willis Way. Willis Way was previously a short, one-block street running beside a parking garage, offering very little for the pedestrian save for a quicker journey to Waterloo's City Hall.
