Marianne Wilkinson, thinks it’s too early to start making changes to the segregated bike lanes on Laurier Avenue. Coun. Bob Monette, concerned the loss of on-street parking along Laurier is hurting nearby businesses, yesterday asked staff to look into the possibility of removing the south-side bike lane or relocating it to another street. Wilkinson said she’d rather wait for an interim report on the pilot project in November. “We’ll be putting that group together in the next
month or so and it will include representation from people living on the street and businesses and from cycling groups and from the city,” Wilkinson said, “So we’ll have a balanced group that will take a look at how it’s working, is there any areas where it can be improved, all of the different types of things you need to do when you’re doing a pilot project.” For more local news visit metronews.ca/ ottawa
