Bike Lanes for Cannon Street by 2015? Yes We Cannon!

Statement by Leshia Knopf

Bike lanes are a win on every level. They make cyclists safer, which increases the amount of cyclists, which helps our environment, our health, and our communities. Now is the time to put a lane on Cannon Street - between PanAm, the GO Station and the Bike Share program, there is no better time. The city has already declared it a priority, but has attached no timeline. If we don't get a lane for 2015, it may be 10 years before Hamilton will have a safe East-West corridor for cycling. It's good for our health, it's good for our city, and it's good for the environment. There is no downside! Yes We Cannon - Bike Lanes 2015!

When I first moved to Hamilton I was excited to be able to bike around the city to get around, even though we had a car. With the King Street bridge bike lanes now being open for business, it has been amazing how much more accessible the city is. I can only imagine how wonderful it will be once this movement is successful and we have Cannon Street as one more street that is safely accessible to all modes of transportation!
