If we want to make cycling a reasonable form of transportation for everyday people, infra needs to go where people go.<br /><br />No reason off-road trails cannot be maintained at the same time. They are peanuts in the context of infrastructure dollars -as Rob implies. We could be doing it all at once and it would *still* cost less than one of the big motor infra projects. No need to in-fight over scraps.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931751960980253354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141272356113079264.post-7917939492445143042017-09-29T16:57:44.148-04:002017-09-29T16:57:44.148-04:00Fight Back, yes!
But do so strategically.
I'...Fight Back, yes!<br /><br />But do so strategically. <br /><br />I've never understood why priority isn't given to bike lanes that won't take away car travel lanes (Donlands) or are in the vicinity of a natural high-cycling group (Military Trail/UTSC; Humber College Blvd/Humber etc. <br /><br />This is not to suggest for one moment that lanes like Bloor and Woodbine shouldn't happen too; but why leave the easy ones for last?<br /><br />Why not help foster more cycling so that you have more advocates for those tougher-sell projects?<br /><br />Why hasn't the off-road trail through the Finch Hydro Corridor been finished in the east end? There are no natural objectors? Again, creating of allies, critical mass are important steps.<br /><br />Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
