Survey Results

1) Are you familiar with the Toronto Bike Plan and will you support its implementation of as one means of reducing car dependance as outlined in Toronto's Official Plan?No Answer
Comments: Thankyou for your questions. I would like to respond to your query in my own words if I may. I have been a cyclist for most of my life and have found it to be enjoyable. As councillor my priorities must be to work on the most pressing issues of our community, such as traffic gridlock, development of public housing, taxes and crime. I do however have a plan which you may find interesting. I wish to develop a boardwalk and bicycle lane along the shores of Etobicoke from Marie Curtis Park to Humber Bay Park. This I feel would make all cycliests very happy. And if I can persuade the rest of council, I would make our bicycle lane join with Parkdale shore over to Center Island. and then continue on to join the Beaches ending in Scarborough. This would be a grand plan that we could realize with a world bicycle rally. With your support things can happen. It starts with your vote. Best Regards Fred Azman
