I can say unequivocally 'YES' to each of your 9-point plan items, particularly your call for cycling and pedestrian bridges.

Since I was first elected as a councillor in 1997 I have been a vocal advocate of making our city more bike and pedestrian-friendly.  Council has been consistent in its support of cycling in principle, but much slower to greenlight any actual changes to our road and bridges network that would require spending commitments.

We can and should be making cycling a budget priority year-in, year-out. But the numbers tell the story of how this hasn't been the case.  Over the past five years we approved only $18 million in cycling infrastructure compared to $3.6 billion in road infrastructure for cars.

As mayor I would act on the smart growth principles of the City's Transportation Plan where cycling and walking are supposed to be priorities, not 'nice to haves' like it is now.
