Request for Decision - Erskine Lane Bike Lane

Council voted to install plastic bollards to prevent vehicles from parking in the Erskine Lane bike lane.

"The bike lane on Erskine Lane is frequently blocked by parked vehicles, likely from nearby apartments or hospital overflow. Councillor Lemon moved to do nothing and allow the parking, noting she has seen few cyclists. Other Councillors strongly disagreed, arguing that removing the lane sets a bad precedent for active transportation and endangers cyclists. Council ultimately voted for the staff recommendation to install knockdown bollards."

"THAT staff install knock down bollards akin to "Option 2B" in the staff report "Request for Decision - Erskine Lane Bike Lane", using the Town's Transportation Roads budget to install the bollards ($5,000, one time) and maintain the asset (up to $7,000, annually)."
