Missed last night's meeting where staff outlined additional options, and related costs, for cycling infrastructure along New Street from Martha Street to Cumberland? You can see the power point presentation here:
March 9 2016 PowerPoint Presentation - Cycle Track Options for New StreetAbout 50 people were at last night's meeting; there was no clear consensus on which option was best. Each option garnered at least some support in the room, with the exception of the road widening - the most expensive option at $1.9m - which didn't seem to resonate.A fuller report on the proceedings is still to come, with a companion article from my co-op student. Stay tuned!
NEXT STEPS:City staff will prepare a report for committee & council outlining these options. That report will be available on Friday and included in the agenda for the Development & Infrastructure committee meeting. Those agendas are posted here:
