I've taken the Active Communities Pledge.
I've pledged that, if I am elected to Regional Council in the 2014 election, I will promote active transportation, including cycling and walking, in our community; I will support the construction of new projects that serve to make walking and cycling easier and more accessible to all residents, regardless of age or ability; I will support our community in applying for a Bicycle Friendly Community designation from Share the Road; I will support our community in applying for a Walk Friendly designation; I will work to ensure that our community supports and contributes to the implementation of the Ontario Cycling Strategy by developing programs, projects and policies that enhance safety, drive tourism, provide economic spinoffs and promote overall health in our community; I will support the development of a Complete Streets Policy in our community to ensure that all roads serve all road users in a safe, effective manner; and I will ensure that our community has a dedicated funding source for active transportation projects to ensure consistent, continuous improvement in the conditions for cyclists and pedestrians.
I believe that communities where people walk and bike are healthy communities. That's why I've taken the pledge.
