Hamilton's Cycling Master Plan has Council approval. However, the implementation timeline is very long and ward councillors can block individual bike lane projects. Do you support accelerating the completion of a continuous bicycle network and other initiatives like a bike sharing program and better access up and down the Escarpment? Why or why not?

Bos, Neil Yes Ward 15 plays host to hundreds of bicycles every day. Take a ride up Snake Road, or Centre Road, and any paved concession. Ward 15 (Carlisle, Waterdown, Millgrove) plays host on the weekends to bicyclists who begin their ride in Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Scarborough. Bike lanes are fine for the downtown area, and they should be marked first.

I noticed that Dundurn in Ward 1 has bike lanes. A trip from the neo-classic castle to the stairs just west of Aberdeen is all the exercise anybody needs in a week. And returning to York Boulevard is downhill most of the way.
Gaspar, Brian Yes I would support the bike plan however again it boils down to planning to blatantly drop bike paths without proper coordination would be meaningless. We have some amazing trails throughout the Hamilton area which i personally travelled they are not congested but growing in popularity. The existing paths require up keep with subject to erosion and potholes and safer accesses through the busy intersections.
