I happened to have to go into the central police station and there is a huge sign behind the front desk, with numbers of traffic fatalities for the year of 2012. The cyclist deaths were over 4 times those of the motorists deaths, something like 21 to 4. The number of cyclists deaths, compared to motorists deaths blew me away. I assume this is why they are focusing on this and if so, I agree with attempting to lower the number of cyclist deaths, but the approach is definately not inclusive. I agree the roads need to be made much more cyclist (and pedestrian) friendly. I would never cycle here in Hamilton, but I would in cities like Montreal, where the roads and cars are much more cyclist-friendly...however as a pedestrian in Montreal, cyclists can be dangerous...many do not pay attention to red lights and numerous times, I was almost run over by cyclists zooming through red lights. "1234" I couldn't agree more.
