Kanata North Cycling Open House, May 19

Cycling Sub-Committee has organized a public open house. This sub-committee is focused on the cycling safety and accessibility needs within Kanata North of three specific user groups: Recreational Cyclists; _ _ Families; Commuter Cyclists. Their primary goal was to understand how accessible established neighbourhoods in Kanata North are for cyclists by road & paths: between neighborhoods; to get to Kanata North amenities such as shopping, recreation, libraries, etc; to commute back and forth to work; for recreational enjoyment. They will present the results of their study and a map of the cycling routes in Kanata North, discuss the next steps, volunteer opportunities, provide a demonstration and answer questions.
