1. What infrastructure…

1. What infrastructure should be prioritized to make cycling in Ontario safer and more convenient to support commuter cycling between residential communities, major transit stations, employment areas and other destinations travelled to on a frequent basis?
* grade separated bike lanes
* connected network of bike lanes
* Cycling signals and signage
* Lowering speed limits
* Protected intersections with clear, distinctive markings
* Use of coloured paint markings
* Bike share

2. What evidence can demonstrate the impact of cycling infrastructure investments on the number of cyclists and on GHG emissions?
* road transportation accounts for 27% of carbon emissions in Ontario – opportunity to reduce trips under 5km
* separated cycling facilities encourage cycling
* installation of protected intersections that help provide connectivity beyond bike lanes
* Bike share grows commuter cycling
* access to data through the purchase of counters tosupport enhanced infrastructure
3. For local cycling networks, what types of cycling infrastructure would best support commuter cycling between residential communities, major transportation stations, employment areas and other destinations travelled to on a frequent basis
* painted bike lanes, encourage councils(engineering staff)to use of fully painted bike lanes(introduce green paint to the streets)
* Paved shoulders
* Cycling lanes separated by a curb
* Raised cycle tracks
* Need to collect data i.e. municipalities/advocacy groups to purchase counters
4. What types of cycling infrastructure on provincial highways would best support commuter cycling between residential communities, major transit stations, employment areas and other destinations travelled to on a frequent basis
* painted bike lanes ( i.e. Cabana Road crossing on the Herb Gray Parkway is absent even though province just completed building the roadway =active transportation bridges. This is a barrier between Windsor and LaSalle)
* Paved shoulders
* Off road multi-use paths
* Active transportation bridges

5. What type of bike parking facilities are needed to support cycling for commuting and other frequent trips?
* bike racks, bike shelters, bike lockers and bike enclosures
* bike repair stations(encourage the installation of stations on trails and key intersections)

6. What type of government-owned, publicly accessible facilities should have bike parking
* schools, hospitals and public housing
7. What type of transit or transportation stations should have bike parking to support cycling access?
* local public transit hubs
8. What type of private facilities could potentially be eligible to receive provincial funding for bicycle-parking facilities?
* advocacy groups, BIA’s, Conservation Authorities
