Carmichael, B. Cronkite and S. Allen were in attendance and responded to questions from the

Ms. L. Gibson addressed the Committee on behalf of a number of residents on Vanier Drive in
opposition to the proposed bike lanes on Vanier Drive. She stated in her opinion if bike lanes
were intended to be installed within the neighbourhood, it would be more appropriate to install
cycling infrastructure on Massey Avenue rather than Vanier Drive. She indicated bike lanes are
not warranted on Vanier Drive as vehicles and cyclists have been sharing the road for some
time and there have not been any issues identified to date. She expressed further concerns
with the following: decreased property values; loss of trees; loss of personal parking spaces
within driveways; and, the loss of on-street parking.
Councillor J. Gazzola brought forward a motion to defer the recommendation outlined in
Report DSD-18-008 to the June 25, 2018 Council meeting to allow an opportunity to re-survey
