The purpose of this brochure is to provide the general public with access to some of the most recent research in an easy-to-read short format. Key findings from Clean Air Partnership's research report titled Bike Lanes, On-Street Parking and Business are highlighted. It is designed to be printed double-sided and then folded in three.
The Transportation Association of Canada is in the process of surveying municipalities across Canada on their active transportation initiatives to discover who is getting things done and what has been effective. While the work is still underway, TCAT collaborated with IBI Group to pull together some preliminary findings to kick off discussion at the Bike Summit 2009. The next stage of the research will explore how these municipalities have succeeded.
The aim of this 2‐day event was to engage the general public, the cycling community and other stakeholders in discussing the future of public bike sharing -- a new form of personalized mass transportation in Toronto.
