Toronto needs to set harder targets and “draconian deadlines” to get an adequate city-wide network of bicycle lanes in place, the chair of the city’s cycling committee says.
Concrete deadlines should be built into capital and operational plans, Councillor Adrian Heaps told the city’s works committee.
A bike plan approved in 2001 called for 1,000 kilometres of new bike paths and trails by 2011. That deadline has been moved to 2013.
