The New Ottawa Cycling Plan
Apr. 28th, 2008 03:21 pmI've just had a quick look at Ottawa's new cycling plan, which will be implemented in two, 10-year phases. They somehow managed to reduce the budget for Phase I (the first ten years, 2008-2018) from nearly $50 million to $26 million. A look at the implementation plan indicates one method they used to come up with these "efficiencies."
On p. 160 of the PDF (just after page 6-4), they have maps displaying the implementation plan. Apparently, some routes which aren't even listed in the current cycling map are now listed as "Existing Cycling Routes" (in red). Taking an example from my own neighbourhood, Orleans Boulevard (which is definitely not cycling friendly!) is listed as an existing cycling route.
Lies!
