Year ~2000 issues on the Burlington Cycling Committee
  1. no safe north / south bike corridors
  2. liftbridge needs a safe lakeside crossing
  3. overpasses crossing the QEW are dangerous
  4. 1997 bikeways plan snail's pace progress?
Year 2011 issues on the Burlington Cycling Committee
  1. no safe north / south bike corridors
  2. liftbridge needs a safe lakeside crossing
  3. overpasses crossing the QEW are dangerous

Its not all doom & gloom.  Some very positive notes:

  2. bike lanes on Guelph Line Lakeshore Road to New St.
  3. paved hydro corridors
  4. Fairview interchange with coloured bike lanes, slower speeds & streetscaping.
  5. half measure at the canal liftbridge
  6. a new cycling master plan (funding, what funding?)
  7. The 2010 Ontario Bike Summit is in Burlington & features a keynote address by the mayor of Portland, Oregon one of the most innovative, cycling friendly cities in North America!
For those of you who cringe at change, more change is coming!
