Updates on our ongoing bike advocacy in Ottawa
Attention Ottawa: we have a problem. We’ve reached the point where we actually have lots of bike lanes (and cycle tracks, and paths). We have many people cycling. That’s all great news. But, we also have a lot of people who drive, and they use highways.
Oh wow, there is a lot going on. And Bike Ottawa needs you to get involved. If you ride a bicycle on paths in Ottawa or Gatineau, then you’ll want to read this blog post.
Members of our Advocacy Working Group are seeking volunteers from communities throughout Ottawa to help identify safe and inviting cycling routes to Ottawa’s transit stations, including Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations. Interested in helping out?
The budget is a great place to find out what’s in the pipeline, since the planning studies and design stages are funded long before shovels go in the ground. We keep a close eye on those early stages so that we can influence outcomes.
