Sustainable Cobourg offers cycling plan initiatives - Northumberland Today - Ontario, CA

"COBOURG -- A detailed cycling plan from Sustainable Cobourg, if adopted under Cobourg's Transportation Master Plan, could make Cobourg a cycling destination, its members say.

The two-part, 50-page submission provides an overview, complete with a map, building on existing cycle routes, including the Waterfront Trail.

It includes specific proposals for the following:
* Installation of Share-the-Road signs;

* Conversion of arterial roads using Road Diet design;

* Adding bike lanes;

* Identification of 'hot spots'; and

* Conducting a study for additional bicycle parking,' states the group's document.

'Our proposals are low-cost -- for the most part just signage and paint -- and will transform Cobourg into one of the most cyclable (safe, efficient, from anywhere to anywhere) towns in Ontario, if not North America!'"
