CfSC received the following letter from Coun. Christine Leadman on December 21, 2009.

Z Krstulich,
President of the Board of Directors
Citizens for Safe Cycling

Mr. Krstulich,

Thank you for your hard work along with Citizens for Safe Cycling (CfSC) in pursuing meaningful advocacy and your support for moving the City towards sustainability. Proper implementation of the green hierarchy of transportation is crucial not only to maintain levels of service on existing infrastructure and to defer planned roadway expenditures but also for the safety and security of the early adopters of a more sustainable transportation system in Ottawa. It is unfortunate that there have been so many avoidable accidents in the past year regarding cycling in Ottawa, but with your help we as a City are collectively beginning to correct the underlying problems that caused many of these accidents.

Re: Cycling Facilities Planning Project for Confederation Blvd

Cyclists face major challenges on Confederation Blvd; it's neither a safe nor comfortable place to cycle. We would like to propose the NCC initiate a comprehensive planning study to evaluate possible solutions to improve cycling for the 'main loop' of Confederation blvd.

Although some of the remedies may take time to implement, other elements can proceed relatively quickly. Such a study could be similar in nature to the "Rideau/Sussex/Col.By" node study presently underway- and be very timely given the Ottawa Cycling Plan downtown study taking place in 2010, and also the desire to expand the 'bike share' project.
