If you haven't already registered for the Cycling Advisory Committee's consultation on the Official Plan being held this Thursday October 17, we would appreciate it if you would so do ASAP, preferably before the end of Tuesday. Details are posted below.
This will be your opportunity to meet with other cycling residents to talk about the future of cycling in Ottawa for the next 2 to 20 years. Comments from this meeting will feed into the Cycling Advisory Committees's official policy recommendations and comments to City Council on November 4. Policies that support walking, cycling and public transit in the current city-wide (former RMOC) Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan http://ottawa.ca/city_services/planningzoning/region_op/toc.htm (See Section 9 especially) have had a visibly positive impact since 1997. Are there policies in the current plan http://ottawa.ca/city_services/planningzoning/op/pre_op_en.shtml that are very important to promoting cycling and that must be included in the new Official Plan? Should the Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan include strong policies that support road user education and effective traffic law enforcement? Or should the Official Plan only include land use policies, as staff are suggesting? We hope that you will be able to join us for this interesting, one-time session this Thursday. Refreshments will be provided!
