Raise the Hammer
Nearly a decade after publishing Shifting Gears (PDF), the city's original Cycling Master Plan, Hamilton has undertaken to update the plan and make some real strides in moving the cycling agenda forward.
Daryl Bender, the city's Project Manager for Alternative Transportation, has issued a call to Hamilton residents to come out to a series of public information sessions and submit comments on the city's plan.
The Shifting Gears website includes a series of information panels on the goals, criteria, process, timeline, methodology, implementation history, maps of existing and planned cycling infrastructure, and options.
The first two meetings were held on November 11 and 18. The last two meetings will be:
If you can't attend either session, you can still see the presentation on the website and print off a comment sheet to fill out and send back to the city.

Nice to see the city finally set the wheels in motion for Shifting Gears. Daryl Bender has done a great job getting this stuff on the agenda - it's nice to see one of the "good guys" on the inside where he can actually get something done.

Hear hear. Hamilton has done more for cycling in the last year than the previous ten years combined.
