Abstract
In completing this report on Cycling in Ontario I have gathered information from specific jurisdictions across Ontario to find out how cycling is incorporated into municipalities. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate what other communities are doing in relation to cycle-supportive activities so as to gain contextual insight for Haliburton County. What I have found is that about 50% of municipalities do have a cycling emphasis in some way, but that Haliburton County has been a pioneer in terms of extensive cycling policy implementation and promotion in rural Central Ontario. In the proceeding document, I have summarized my findings, excluding municipalities that do not support cycling in any way. With the help of my host from the Haliburton Highlands Cycling Coalition, I have created three primary questions that would provide the most useful information to other cycling planners and advocates in Ontario. In doing so, much of the material relating to the secondary questions will be responded to. Both sets of questions are outlined on the following page. All municipal information has been categorized according to County, with questions A, B and C answered wherever applicable. A brief commentary about the research process and recommendations regarding particularly useful strategies and resources will follow.
