Bike lanes and pedestrian walkways for new and reconstruction projects are "Key Actions." A good first step, but is it enough?
Another Key Action is to "Complete a plan for Dundas Street and Trafalgar Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) projects in cooperation with Oakville, Burlington and Metrolinx." Burlington's Cycling Master Plan also touted innovative cycle tracks along the entirety of Dundas Street. Is Halton aware of this? Both of these items should be specifically mentioned in the plan as Key Actions: 2012 - 2014.
They're spending your tax dollars! Shouldn't you be providing your input into how your tax dollars will be spent by Halton Region? Halton is asking for your answers.
Everyone please submit your comments to the Region through the link in the post. Power in numbers.
ReplyDeleteGave Halton my feedback.

1. safer ways to get across the QEW overpasses
2. cycle tracks along Dundas St.
3. wider paved shoulders 1.4m - 2m depending on traffic volumes on rural regional roads
I have been cycling along Dundas (Appleby to Postmaster) for the past 5 years. Commuting more these days and thankfully, opposite the rush hour traffic. I am looking for information on whether the recent construction along the south side of this stretch of Dundas will involve any Bike Lanes. Thanks!
