A 780-signature petition organized by Safe Biking for Prince George calls for bike lane improvements.
Prince George city referred a request for bike lane improvements to the city’s Standing Committee on Finance and Audit on Monday, after receiving a request and a 780-signature online petition from Safe Bike Prince George.
Ross recommended the city consider installing inexpensive, easily moved barriers such as planters, curbs or plastic posts to designate bike lanes and increase the perception of safety. Such temporary measures are cheaper and quicker to install than more permanent solutions, and can be adjusted as needed.“The solution won’t be perfect, but it will be better than what we have now,” he said. “These solutions should focus on making biking more accessible for all ages and abilities.
“There is concerns with the impacts on snow removal,” McIntosh said. “Right now the bike lanes do provide a lot of snow storage.”
