The next couple of years is going to see some substantial cycling infrastructure being built. I would like to see the province to develop and assist in coordinating the collection of monitoring data that can be used to justify the continued expansion of the cycling network.

The other area that I think we really need to focus on is the social acceptance of cycling in particular but in general other modes of transportation besides motorized vehicles. There is still some fairly strong opposition with sharing roads with other modes and it will take a cultural shift to ease the tension between the various groups. It has to become second nature such as wearing seatbelts is now just an unconscious action.

Those are the two areas I think really need some focus to ensure there is no backlash in the future and we can continue to create a truly functional provincial cycling network.

Keep up the great work!!
