Conley, Doug Maybe Need more information.
Galindo, Cam Yes Yes. We need to acknowledge that cars are not the only vehicles on the road. We need to upgrade our city's infrastructure to support and encourage cyclists. I support improving the City's Cycling Master Plan to speed the installation of cycling facilities and provide more high-quality protected infrastructure.
Marrone, Tone Yes being a cyclist,i`m in favor of bike lanes
McMullen, Geraldine    Yes Yes I do. Safer cycling opportunities in Greater Hamilton should not only provide safe recreation; protected cycle infrastructure should also provide a safe and economical means of transport for many residents. For many, it’s a means of getting to and from their employment.
Robbins, Marie Yes Yes, bike lines are good insofar as that they separate cyclists from other faster forms of traffic, like cars. This segregation of transportation modes goes a long way to improve safety and the overall speed of traffic flow and should be undertaken wherever appropriate and desired by the community.

Regarding the specifics of the Cannon St. proposal, from what I’ve been hearing from Ward 3 candidates during debates, it does not seem that this proposal is very popular with nearby residents. In the future, this is going to be an important consideration for when this discussion comes up at council and planning future projects. Foremost, Council needs to be respectful of those residents most directly affected.
Rosser, Christopher Maybe I'd like to see the results of the pilot project before deciding on this issue. The feedback from the city has been positive but from the people has been negative.
Rukavina, Frank Yes I applaud The City's Cycling Master Plan and would support it's approval.
