Yes. With a goal of eliminating all pedestrian and cyclist deaths, the city should have moved forward with this initiative a long time ago. By following the example set by Sweden, we can ensure that our transport systems take the burden of ensuring safety. The first step would be to update our infrastructure by making mobility safe from the start. Step two is adapting vehicle technology. Step three involves services and educating the public. Lastly, step four ensures control and surveillance.

Yes, the timely installation of the complete streets policy which is looking for the same results as Vision Zero is paramount in making our streets safe for everyone. This couldn’t more apparent in Stoney Creek where the pedestrian infrastructure needs are not keeping up with the increased population growth. The protection of human life and health are responsibilities of both the system designer and the user.

I believe that having a Vision Zero target is commendable. Specifically, I have written on the need to better address community speed limits as way to reduce street fatalities and I favour bike lanes as a way of improving safety and traffic flow. However, from a practical standpoint we don’t want to set standards that are going to be impossible to meet. |

I believe eliminating all pedestrian and cyclist deaths would be great. I think to accomplish this goal there needs to be a change of mindset by everyone. Cyclists, drivers and pedestrians all need to use a common sense approach. Most cyclists and pedestrians feel that the signals and signage on the road are guidelines as they are virtually unenforceable. In Calgary, pedestrians are given the right of way with push button cross walks in multiple places along the roads. Drivers out west, are conditioned to be aware of pedestrians.

Though Vision Zero for Hamilton is a great idea, it is impossible to 100% implement plus I believe it would have negative impacts on small business. |
