Re: [Talk-ca] A message aimed more at Ottawa

Hi John,

The Ottawa cycling group is working on a "Level of Traffic Stress" map 
which is different than this.  This is because, my understanding, is 
that the City of Ottawa (for better or worse) uses LTS as their 
official way of measuring how they're doing on cycling 
infrastructure.  If you want the city to make changes, you need to 
talk their language.


However, I think ultimately, "bikeability" is where the Ottawa team 
wants to get to.   I've heard it mentioned that the existing work is 
meant to identify important gaps in the cycling network.


Too bad we couldn't collaborate better across the country on cycling 
activities.   Is there a national organization focused on cycling?

It looks as if some work has been done in Vancouver.

It needs thinking through and combining both OpenStreetMap data and 
other sources.


"Bikeability: The term bikeability refers to the level of 
interaction between factors of the built and natural environments 
associated with the demand for cycling including infrastructure, 
slope, land use (destinations), and connectivity. This definition 
was derived from this study 
."


Note it's not only cycle paths etc but destinations and other 
information.


The cycling organisations might understand it better.  I think also 
the City of Ottawa has a person or group who promotes cycling and it 
might be worth involving them.
