A meeting with Councillor Tom Lafferty was held recently and our committee left the issue of a trial painted lane in his hands to be brought up soon when the Mayor and Council get together to establish goals and objectives for the next budget year. The Master Transportation Plan already has pedestrian and cycling as an included reference and will be presented to Council on Jan 24th. We feel comfortable that our requests for a Master Cycling Plan will be addressed in the coming months. The Engineering Dept shall be acting on these items with the usual procedures: selection of consultants, public inputs, consultant reports, budget and planning steps, council agreement and then implementation. I have heard many of the infrastructure ideas that are being considered for our city and cycling seems to be an active consideration alongside all of these new goals.
