Jericho Lands project has everything our amazing city needs, including cycling paths
Meeting Date: 24 January, 2024
Jericho Lands Policy Statement

You know, we don't always see our project, you know, has everything we have, but I think this Jericho land is one of them. Social housing, below the market rental, childcare space, community centre, elementary school, new job opportunities, 30 acres of new parks and open space on 90 acres of land, that's 33%.

And cycling paths, of course, the naming opportunity for MST, also the potential SkyTrain line. So it has everything we need in this amazing city.

....So I think in the past 10 years, we have built a lot of bike lanes. I really want to see, you know, more people coming out and riding a bicycle, but for slide number 12, I believe it looks like the number of people cycling remain roughly the same about 7%. Do we know why is that? It seems like not aligned with the ideas from the community.
Is there a cap on the % of people who prefer cycling?

Okay. So to follow up that question, you know, I saw the number 2013 was 4%, 2014 was 5%, but all of a sudden going to 7%, 8%, 9%. So would you see maybe, I don't know, 10% or 7% will be the cap of the people who prefer cycling.
