- Active Transportation Master Plan
- Cycling facility construction
- Traffic Calming Initiatives - Concern that the budget for all cycling infrastructure, education, enforcement and facilities is $600,000. $100,000 of this budget is proposed to be added to traffic calming for 2020 and 2021. Since traffic calming issues impact drivers more than cyclists, why are we not adding some of the roads budget for traffic calming as well. –
- Intersection Improvements Program Recommendation that all intersection improvements made include cycling infrastructure as recommended in the Active Transportation Master Plan, i.e. if an intersection has been identified as part of a AAA route, the intersection must reflect that. –

Moved by J. Macasaet-Bondy, seconded by K. Dohring, That the investments for traffic calming across the city however, BE SUPPORTED, the Windsor Bicycling Committee objects to the proposal as noted in the 2020 Recommended Capital Budget for the City of Windsor that these initiatives be funded through the proposed allocation of $600,000 and further recommends that the traffic calming measures through the significantly larger allocation for road BE FUNDED reconstruction. Carried.
J. Hagan explains traffic calming and bikeways development are both within Transportation Planning and adds $100,000 is proposed in 2020 for the $100,000 switch to traffic calming and in 2027 bikeways will receive $100,000 for traffic calming. So essentially, it nets out to zero however there are funds they are carrying forward in bikeways development in 2020 which will allow them to do a significant amount of new infrastructure. There is a potential for an ICEP Grant, so at this time there are a significant amount of things associated with cycling which will allow freeing up some of those funds to work on other projects, i.e. traffic calming and in the future, traffic calming will give the money back.
