If it is to happen, we need to address the barriers, especially the redneck attitude of the BIA presidents, Lori Mellor - Preston, Derek Crain - Somerset who oppose it. I'd suggest emailing them to disagree:

info@prestonstreet.com
dcrain@crainarchitects.com

My msg was, "like 57 per cent of Ottawans who describe themselves as cyclists" I bike, shop and I don't race around in spandex while shopping.

take a lot of changes. Its fine to say, but places like Denmark are very very expensive to drive in. mark up on a vehicle is close to 120%, for example. To park downtown is about 100 bucks a day...

we have a long long way to go before we ever see those prices

Plus, the bike population size is about 40% vs 2% here...

a long way to go.

talk is cheap though. Politicians love it.
