Thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond to your survey. I have reviewed your list and I believe that you have identified some very worth while projects for the City to undertake.

I am not able to support the entire platform, as it is important to take everything into consideration at budget time and identify priorities to pursue. I do fully agree that the City needs to approve more cycling projects and promote this form of transportation and recreation in our communities. I am also pleased that the City was able to take advantage of the Federal and Provincial Stimulus funding in order to advance long awaited initiatives, and I understand the need to keep this momentum going. I also agree that integrating cycling with Transit is important and that the successful Rack & Roll program needs to be expanded.

Specifically within my ward and community I wanted to highlight some of the recent initiatives taken which will improve cycling conditions. We are currently working on pathways between Tenth Line and Hiawatha at a total investment of $350,000. As well as. 6 km trail from St. Joseph to Hiawatha. I also supported the 2.5 Million long distance trail connecting Prescott Russell to Montreal .

I would also would like to congratulate your group for the hard work that you have done with the Rack & Roll program, promoting safe cycling, and the creation of a cycling plan. Moving forward I will continue to support cycling in the City of Ottawa and I believe that we are moving forward in the right direction to promote and offer safe cycling in Ottawa .
