I raised four children,who are now 20 to 27, in #CarBrained #Brampton, and I’m very proud to say none of them drive. I would’ve read them this book if it had existed 🙂

Mayors’ Panel * What does a Bicycle Friendly Community look like? * Cam: Easy and safe * Easy to stop at amenities * Make it an easy choice for people * Need to see leaders and decision makers embracing bikes * See the community’s value in its budget * Government can’t do it alone, partner with others * Guelph - ambitious goals in ATMP- 3-10% * 73km of dedicated infrastructure in the plan * Bikes diverted from landfill. Available at dump * Frequent flyer complaints in more affluent areas, others don’t know how to intersect with city hall. Going to invest in higher need neighbourhoods * Expand network - street, trails * Advocate to upper levels of government * Better communication and education- the why for those who push back * Better at storytelling the successes
This is so disappointing on so many levels. Cam was on the Mayors’ Panel at last year‘s Ontario Bike Summit. These are my notes of what he said. Apparently the man is a hypocrite and tailors his message to his audience.
