This bronze was awarded by Share the Road Cycling Coalition, a cycling advocacy group founded by Eleanor McMahon. She has taken the Bicycle Friendly Community platform used by the League of American Bicyclists, adapted it for Canada and spread the word.
The award is recognition for Burlington's effort to provide and promote safer cycling for transportation and recreation. Each city is examined on its efforts in the following categories: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Evaluation and Planning. You can get more details here.
Its a fantastic accomplishment and tribute to the efforts of many at city hall and the dedication of many members, past and present, of the Burlington Cycling Committee.
Thank you to all who have made our city a better, safer, enjoyable place to live.
As a result of Burlington's application process for BFC recognition, we have a road map of improvements that need to be made to attain Silver or even Platinum. We can do it!
