  • November, 2016 Approved by County Council on January 4, 2017
    November, 2016 Approved by County Council on January 4, 2017 Huron County Cycling Strategy, 2016 Overview The Huron County Cycling Strategy is intended to improve cycling safety and enjoyment in Huron County and was developed with input from stakeholder groups, local municipalities and local residents. It provides recommended actions, identifies lead organizations, and sets out timelines for implementation. County Council strongly believes in promoting safety on our roads. The Cycling Strategy was developed at the direction of the following motion passed by County Council in December, 2015: “That a comprehensive program be initiated to enhance the safety of all road users, with primary emphasis on cyclists, by commencing the following actions immediately: Participate in Share the Road education programs; Investigate the feasibility of a pilot project of wider paved shoulders outside of the fog line during the reconstruction of County Road 31 from Saltford to Benmiller; Enhance the County Cycling Guide/website with additional information for cyclists; Support, where possible and feasible, community initiatives for off-road cycling facilities such as the existing Goderich-Auburn Rail Trail (GART) and the proposed Goderich to Guelph rail trail (G2G) and Port to Point trail (P2P). And by developing a Cycling Strategy (signage, legal considerations, bicycle infrastructure, etc.) in 2016 with stakeholder consultations and using in-house resources.” In addition, three reports were received by County Council in recent years that provide background and support for cycling and active transportation initiatives. These reports include Take Action for Sustainable Huron, Transportation Demand Management Plan, and Huron County Active Transportation: A Call to Action. 1 Huron County Cycling Strategy, 2016 Process A Huron County Cycling Strategy Steering Committee was formed, which comprised stakeholders from the cycling, health, municipal, police, tourism, and transportation sectors.

  • Hugh Hawkins 1255 Gulf Shore Blvd N 6S 34102 Need More Space for Cyclists on Roads I Walk from Seagate to Gulfshore and Go Through an Area Frequented by Bikers
    Name Address ZIP Code Please share general feedback about pedestrian and bicycle matters in the City of Naples. Hugh Hawkins 1255 Gulf Shore Blvd N 6S 34102 Need more space for cyclists on roads I walk from Seagate to Gulfshore and go through an area frequented by bikers. Many are very rude and ride their bikes through the connecting lanes and we have been almost hit a few times by a biker. They seem to think they do not have to obey any rules or look out for Diane Zore 333 Devils Bight 34103 anyone but themselves. It clearly says on the signs that they should walk bikes through, but very few do. Somehow steering the serious bicycle riders (large packs traveling at high speed) to their own areas, or designated timeframes, would be helpful. There are times when Gulf Shore Blvd in Old Naples becomes dangerous for walkers and cars because of these large packs traveling Chris Wilson 252 1st Ave South 34102 at high speeds. The city streets and storm water and city manager should stop trying to cram bike lanes and sidewalks down residents throats. Their separate survey is biased and only offers opens for change. Just because they got money from the state, doesn’t make it right. His survey offers an 34102 equal voice to everyone - including people worldwide who have never even been to Naples. I do not have a car and rely on my bicycle to do my shopping. It would be nice to have a dedicated bike route from downtown to Wynn’s.

It is one of the most successful means of transport and the epitome of mobility. For many, cycling is part of everyday life: whether on the way to work, for sporting activities, for recreation, or for shared experiences with the family. But the cycling scene is at a turning point, and the streetscape is changing. More and more people are saddling up and relying on an electric tailwind. Overcoming distances and hurdles, being mobile, staying mobile – that is what is crucial. eBikes create unimagined possibilities for individual needs and individual people. The eBike lends you wings. It makes it possible for the rider to engage in agile, convenient, and smart traffic behavior with positive effects on health, the environment, and society. More than two Bike festival Flexible in the city Electromobility 10 12 14 million pedelecs are currently on the road in Germany alone, and the share among bikes is growing rapidly. The eBike is en vogue and Bosch is setting the standard here: with its creative employees and technological expertise, the company has been enabling individual mobility for nearly 130 years – Bosch thinks ahead. The population is growing, resources are decreasing, the climate is changing. Contemporary and sustainable mobility will be electrified, automated, and networked. We are convinced that eBikes are the introduction to multimodal and mulitlocal mobility. We at Bosch eBike Systems live for mobility. Together with our customers, partners, and dealers, we inspire the public and shape the future.
