I have been paying close attention to this issue and have seen the results first hand. I know that many who drive along the east west bound routes of Hamilton have seen this come to pass as well. I want to always make sure that despite my desire to make Hamilton as alternative transit friendly as possible I do not forget about drivers. I support the construction of cycling facilities and additional bike routes but I would always need to investigate the streets in question before I approved them on a case by case bases. I am always open to the suggestions and wisdom of those who have studied this issue in depth as well. |

Yes. As Vice-Chair of the Hamilton Cycling Committee this issue is of prime importance to me. I fully support the Cycling Master Plan and intend on advocating for its adoption throughout Hamilton. |

I celebrate and applaud everyone that cycles as their preferred mode of transportation. Cannon Street seems to have some confusing areas that cyclists and motorists have concerns with. I believe that we can do much better and would love to see integrated, sloped 'cycleped' sidewalks instead of entire lanes. the price tag to keep the lanes snow free during the winter is not money well spent and is an absolute slap in the face for people struggling to pay their higher heating bills PLUS their taxes while they struggle shovelling their sidewalks and the City cleans the bike lanes. |

Yes. I support the plan, and improving it if necessary, to develop a workable timeframe that ensures safety for cyclists throughout the City.

I would like to see some Cycling Master Plan action in Ward 13, Dundas, where there are zero 'official' bike lanes and some very dangerous gaps between existing bits and pieces of bikeways.
I think opening of new lanes has been very aggressive downtown this year and I applaud the Cannon bikeway entirely. I now think we need to watch and see how things are integrating, and fix any bugs as they arise in the downtown installations. And in the meantime, spread the love around the entire city. |
