Meeting Date:
Support for Slow Streets
"... I'm out there on a bicycle a lot. I'm a vulnerable road user...It's efficient. And I think more and more people are coming alive to that. So when we look at opportunities where we can make it safer and more attractive to use active transportation, I think that's a win. That's a win for our environment. It's a win for our city. It's a win for affordability and it's a win for public safety."
