Hamilton Cyclists:
During the 2011 - 2012 winter season a pilot project will test enhanced maintenance activities for a specific section of the "on-road painted" bike lanes to measure the benefit and cost of extending availability of bike lanes further into the winter season. The enhanced activities include additional inspection, ploughing, anti-icing, and street sweeping when warranted and feasible (excluding snow removal for the specific benefit of the affected bike lanes). This pilot project includes the bike lanes on Sterling Street, Longwood Road, Dundurn Street, and Sanders Boulevard. The pilot will be assessed and recommendations developed for future consideration.

To provide feedback on this project, please access the web survey:

There are bike lanes in all of these places, but with the exception of Sterling, it can be dangerous even getting that far. The Dundurn bike lane is mostly useless as cars will regularly park in the bike lane, and getting to it from campus area usually means crossing main or king, both of which are under construction and have no *safe* bike lanes.
This pilot projector needs a consideration of bike lane accessibility in the best of weather before bothering with bad weather.
