General Comments • The layout and presentation are more user friendly • We appreciate that the Primary Urban Cycling Route Network has been put back • We particularly like the Livable Communities” concept emphasizing green modes and compact development
What we Liked • Vision, principles and strategies in sections 1 and 2 Specific targets and indicators were established for housing and greenspace
Recommendations for improvement Transportation policies • Promotion, education and link to health and behavioural changes; and • Add additional cycling-specific policies i.e., review and modify standards and practices to promote cycling; maintain collaborative process to define and implement an integrated cycling network; multimodal; and traffic speed. Monitoring and evaluation — targets and indicators
