-Separated bike lanes and paths, calmer street networks, and education/cultural campaigns encouraging cycling and even tailored to specific areas (poster atop the Niagara Escarpment in Hamilton could read "Did you know the Chedoke Trail can get you downtown by bike safely in 6 minutes?" These things would encourage more commuting between communities and within cities.
-Regarding evidence for GHG emissions vs. cycling, Environment Hamilton has been doing Bicycle Air Monitoring which is mapping air quality in Hamilton. I would think that cross referencing over a period of years, statistics on cycling and statistics from this BAM project for example, could help show a decrease in emissions as more people cycle.
-In southern Ontario, there seems to usually be a side-road route that is not a highway which provides an acceptable alternative to the highway for cycling. For example, Hamilton to Burlington: A cyclists can use Lakeshore Blvd. Infrastructure there needs to be safer but I don't think that cycling infrastructure is needed alongside the 403 or QEW in this instance.
-There should be high quality, steel, bike posts scattered all over urban areas for parking. Almost one outside every shop along busy urban strips. Stand alone posts with hoops are preferable to bike-rack stations. Certainly some locations (schools? city centers?) could benefit from enclosures or lockers but these should be free to encourage use.
