Virtually all lanes are lines on the roads 💅
Still no answer on keeping bus stops and parking accessible if we're not maintaining bike lanes where they intersect.

Welp, get ready for cyclists to take the full lane this winter. An awful decision which impacts the accessibility and transportation needs for people who rely on bike lanes to get where they need to go. @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social @activeguelph.bsky.social @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social #guelph
Motion fails 6-7.
Gibson, Richardson, Guthrie, Billings, Chew, Busutill, Hauser vote against.

🔍 Why Do Close Calls Matter?
While crashes often get reported (worryingly not all!), close calls are an early warning sign of dangerous road conditions. Tracking them helps identify problem areas before serious collisions happen.

Safety shouldn’t depend on your mode of travel, ability or your income.
Youth, seniors, people with disabilities and lower incomes often rely on sidewalks, bike lanes, and transit stops.
Deferring these projects to save on property tax is deferring their right to safety

Guelph has pledged to reduce emissions 63% by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050. Eliminating winter cycling and slowing pedestrian upgrades directly contradict those commitments.” In fact, the draft budget itself warns these cuts will “slow progress on modal shift and environmental objectives."

Governance risk=when your adopted policies outpace your implementation.
Guelph’s 2026 budget update slows critical Vision Zero delivery: sidewalk infill, cycling connections, TDM, and transit amenities.
These aren’t nice-to-haves they’re the infrastructure that converts commitments into outcomes.

Bill 56 treats safety like a nuisance.
Communities know it’s an investment that pays us back in fewer crashes, fuller lives, lower costs.
Cutting safety isn’t saving money.
It’s spending lives.

Guelph’s volunteers are filling the gaps left by budget cuts: running safety education, community events, and engagement that staff can no longer afford to.
We can’t build sustainability on unpaid labour while cutting the very services those volunteers rely on.

I’ve attended dozens of public consultations for new and upcoming cycling infrastructure projects in Guelph. I ask one question every time:
“Has funding for winter maintenance been included in this project’s lifecycle costs?”
Often, the answer is vague.....
