Dedicated bus lanes and way more buses (electric buses, don't necessarily need batteries if the proper infrastructure is in place)

Limit curbside parking to Weekends

Limit curbside parking to allow for safer cycling (and driving). This is aimed at internal roads that are often somewhat narrow. A classic case in point is Ironwood road between Edinburgh and Scottsdale. Harvard from Edinburgh to Gordon is another. These roads are marked as "Cycle Routes"; however, curbside parking means cyclists have to weave in and out, often even coming close to the road midline if a car is badly parked. Another point: the vast majority of curbside parked cars are adjacent to vacant driveways. That is, many actually have space in their driveways but choose to opt for the safer/convenient option of not having to back out when leaving home. Finally, we already have eliminated curbside parking during the "snow" months, so it's not like there's no precedent.

Slow, potential improvement

Weak mode share targets and incremental improvements over a long time range mean Guelph will continue to be a car dependent city at a time when bold action is required. This will still require parents like me to chauffeur their kids around.

Focus more on safe and enjoyable Active Transportation

The proposed 'mode share' targets are disappointing and should be more focused on increasing walk, cycle and transit trips. If the City truly wants to increase Active Transportation the proposed 'Pedestrian Priority Network' and 'Spine Cycling' network are inadequate. The proposed cycle network still focuses on putting bikes next to cars, on busy streets, and in narrow bike lanes (these are not safe and enjoyable). A quality cycle network should be throughout the city, safety-focused, and highly interconnected. True separation of cyclists and cars should be the goal where possible. A few other thoughts: - The proposed alternatives don't seem to address the need to be able to safely cross the Hanlon on a bike or foot. Pedestrian and bike overpasses are needed over the Hanlon if we actually want to facilitate active transportation across this major barrier. - Many of the semi-major roads (Edinburgh, Silvercreek etc.) don't have adequate pedestrian crossing infrastructure. More pedestrian crossing signals and curb extensions would greatly increase walkability. Thanks for the chance to comment and provide feedback. The storyboard format was a good way of presenting the information.

The need to address the weekend /holiday schedule as well as the various industries with early am schedule. Standardized the bus schedule.
