Text of the Petition:
I strongly support the development of an effective network of cycling lanes, including segregated lanes, and pathways, to make cycling in Ottawa more inclusive of those who prefer or need a degree of separation from motorized traffic. I ask City Council to allocate sufficient funds to the Ottawa Cycling Plan for this purpose.

Comment:
Note: A comment could be a reason you support cycling lanes, or why you believe an effective network of lanes and pathways is important in Ottawa. Or it could be an anecdote, a personal experience, an observation, a request for a specific bike lane on your cycling route, or really - anything else to promote cycling. We'll pass your comments on to councillors, the mayor, city officials and committees, as appropriate.
Goal:
Cycling Vision Ottawa wants to see a Capital region where more women, seniors, families, cyclists of all stripes are eager to get on their bikes and are comfortable riding city streets.
We plan to send the petition to the mayor, individual councillors and city officials. We have no commercial purpose and we will keep your information confidential. Spread the Word

Want More Cycling Lanes? Sign the Petition!
If you want more cycling lanes in Ottawa, here's something easy you can do. Please sign the on-line petition and send this message to other Ottawans. The petition is at: www.CyclingVision.ca or on Facebook under Cycling Vision Ottawa. Many of us believe that an effective network of bike lanes, segregated lanes, and pathways is needed in Ottawa to help current cyclists cycle more. Better infrastructure could also 'fuel' the latent demand to lift cycling to a greater role in transportation within the city. We must convince City councillors it's important to create this effective network. A good start is a petition. It must have the support of a great many citizens to have an impact. It takes less than a minute to take action. PS: Every e-mail you send has the power to multiply your effort for more cycling lanes in Ottawa. Please forward this message to your friends asking them to sign the petition at: www.CyclingVision.ca |
