Abstract

The regional Municipality of Waterloo requested that the ERS 339 class look into the issues surrounding bicycling within Waterloo and specifically around the two universities. The existing Regional Cycling Policy Master Plan for the Regional Municipality of Waterloo is reviewed every five years with the next review taking place in 1999. A number of concerns and issues about bicycling in the Region have been raised by the public in the media, council meetings, and community cycling organizations. Therefore, there is an immediate need for a study of cycling within the region and the study area. The goal for the study is “To enhance cycling facilities (including parking, paths, lanes, lock-ups, signage) so that cycling ease, safety, security and enjoyment is maximized for all current and potential cyclists traveling in the areas surrounding the two universities”… For full text, please e-mail sustainability@uwaterloo.ca
