Maybe; I would like to wait and see the results of the pilot project before deciding in this issue |

I don't know if your reference to the Cannon street cycle track is a typo, I don't see the Cannon street bike lanes as a track but as lanes of traffic for cyclists. I have heard the safety concerns with respect to the current installation of the Cannon street bike lanes, and there are some logistics and problem areas that need to be addressed. I think we should plan for future bike lanes, but use the pilot project on Cannon as a basis to learn, eliminate risks in future designs, and in the implementation of bike lanes moving forward. There is no need to fast track any installations at this time. |
| Green, Matthew |
Yes |
I support improving the plan to speed the installation of cycling facilities and provide high-quality protected infrastructure like the new Cannon St. cycle track with emphasis given to safe routes to schools and community assets such as parks, sports fields and libraries. |

i give it time to reviewing as this first of besides we went over budget last time over 200000. dont want to make same mistake.
I think the question relies safety also maybe maybe droping speed to 40 km thru residental. also speed bumps thru the small streets. |

Launched in 2009, the City is making progress on the 20 year Cycling Master plan to create commuter bike trails across Hamilton. Any future decisions to change and update the plan will largely depend on the results and recommendations of the review, including budgetary considerations. |

I'm in favour of getting feedback from the review and listening to constituents first. It is great that bike lanes are no longer viewed as a ward issues, but as a transit issue. However, if we are going to get public buy-in we need to hear from them. I'm getting a lot negative feedback from residence on Cannon Street. The pollution for cars backed up during rush hour is their biggest complaint. We need to look for strategies to keep the vehicles moving. As our city grows, there will be more cars, bikes, trucks, motorcycles, buses and pedestrians. We need to find a balance whichever method of transport people use or choose. |
