Ottawa - Even some cyclists oppose cycling lane

It's no surprise that the Bank Street BIA opposes reducing parking on Laurier Avenue to accommodate a special lane for cyclists. Businesses get agitated when parking is reduced. Similar opposition killed the original plan to use Somerset Street as a cycling route.

What's surprising is the opposition from a new coalition of veteran cycling advocates.
