Ottawa - Cycling advocates oppose new study

Plans for a safe, segregated east-west bike route through downtown should move ahead this spring, say cycling advocates, opposing a motion by Somerset ward councillor Diane Holmes to shelve the pilot project until a city-wide study is undertaken.

"We study things until we're blue in the face, and, at the end of it all, we're left with nothing," Ottawa Bicycle Club president Ron Stoneham said. "I think it's a great idea to have something in the downtown core ... and, if it works, expand it elsewhere."
