Recommendation:
1. That Report OES-07-08 regarding the Regional Cycling Plan be received; and
2. That Council endorse staff comments as provided with the report and that Report
OES-07-08 be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham.
Executive Summary: In 2005, the Region of Durham (via Report No. 2005-J-23)
proposed the establishment ot policies and strategies to build and promote a regional
network of on and off road cycling routes and facilities. The Region retained Marshall
Macklin Monaghan as their consultant to undertake the Regional Cycling Plan Study
with an objective to develop a 'Cycling Plan' across the Region integrated with local
municipalities. In the fall of 2007 the Region of Durham published the Durham Cycling
Plan Study prepared by their consultants and requested area municipalities to provide
comments and recommendations by March 15, 2008.
As illustrated in Region of Durham's Report No. 2007-J-23 dated: June 12, 2007, the
cycling plan (via short and long term strategies) identifies financial and administrative
responsibilities for the creation of routes, both currently existing and future proposed
which link local municipal systems, transit routes and pedestrian corridors within public
lands and right-ot-ways to promote alternative modes of transportation.
As the Regional Cycling Plan Study initiative is nearing completion, the Region has
requested municipal comments. Having reviewed the document, staff noted that the
proposed cycling plan promotes corporate sustainability objectives and works towards
the creation of an efficient, affordable and accessible transportation environment. In
support of the Regional Cycling Plan, staff hereby presents an update on the study and
comments for information and endorsement prior to issuance to the Regional
Municipality of Durham-Works Department.

Financial Implications: The Regional Cycling Plan Study recommends that:
. the Region should fund the entire cost of all on-road cycling network segments on
Regional Roads
. the Region should contribute fifty percent of the cost for new or adjusted pavement
markings and cycling network signing for on-road routes falling under the
jurisdiction of local municipalities, and
. the Region should consider cost sharing off-road network segments on a project-
by-project basis, with other groups, such as local municipalities etc. when funding is
available
. Table 7-2 of the Regional Cycling Plan Study shows the proposed cost associated
to the City of Pickering as per Regional Cycling Plan:-

The total adjusted cost' for the City of Pickering (as proposed in the consultant's report)
is $3,378,205 for the period of 2008 to 2032 based on the following unit prices:

* Total Adjusted Cost = assumes Regional Cost Sharing Formula)
However, this cost does not include property acquisition and nor does it contain
structural improvement, utility relocations and/or environmental assessments (if
needed). The cost of all of these works could be significant depending on the facility
type. Although the plan includes a cost sharing strategy to encourage the
implementation of proposed regional network segments on lands not owned by the
Region, the cost sharing measures for off-road network segments on a project-by-
project basis, with other groups and local municipalities needs to be strengthened more
in detail.
While it is understood that there is a significant cost associated with the plan, the City of
Pickering will be reviewing proposed cycling plans recommended by Region and will
continue to work towards it as well as investigate alternative funding sources to assist in
financing the proposed Regional Cycling Plan.

Based on the above, it is evident that further investigation is necessary in order to look
at additional funding sources.
Sustainability Implications: The "Regional Cycling Plan Study" is planned to shape
an opportunity for future sustainable planning in Region of Durham. The goals of the
study promote energy efficient and environmentally conscious alternative modes of
transportation which mirror economic, environmental and social corporate sustainability
objectives. The study also recommends that Region of Durham should enhance its
commitment to bicycle safety programs. A more comprehensive effort by the Region will
be required to influence the public that cycling is not only a feasible mode of
transportation but a safe and more sustainable alternative to the automobile for short
distance trips.
Background: The Region of Durham through its various strategies desires to
establish a region-wide network of on and off-road cycling routes and facilities for
everyday transportation and enjoyment purposes. The need and justification of the
Regional Cycling Plan is also highlighted in Section 3.2.3 of the Region's Transportation
Master Plan (RTMP) recognizing that cycling and walking are sustainable and
environmentally friendly modes of transportation concentrating actively on the local
municipal road and path systems. The Region retained Marshall Macklin Monaghan as
their consultant to undertake the Regional Cycling Plan Study with an objective to
develop a 'Cycling Plan' across the Region integrated with local municipalities.
Regional Council on June 20, 2007 (via Report No. 2007-J-23) passed the Joint
Commissioner's Report on the Status of the Regional Cycling Plan Study which outlines
that cycling is the most energy efficient mode of transportation and is not only a popular
recreational activity but also an efficient, affordable and accessible mode of
transportation in today's world. On September 26, 2007 City received a copy of the
Regional Cycling Plan Study report and appendices prepared by Marshall Macklin
Monaghan for review and comments. The Region further requested municipal
comments and recommendations on the plan and plan implementation including
priorities and financing options by October 15, 2007. In response to Municipalities
request to extend the comments submission deadline, the regional staff further
requested area municipalities to provide comments and recommendations by March 15,
2008. Attachment #1 to this report provides a summary of the recommended routes in
the City of Pickering. Attachment #3 is a map of the proposed Regional Cycling Plan.
The City Staff had a comprehensive review and analyzed that a more comprehensive
effort by the Region will be required to influence the public that cycling is not only a
feasible mode of transportation but a safe and desirable alternative to the automobile
for short distance trips. Motorists and cyclists need to be better educated about how to
coexists on a shared facility which includes educating cyclists about proper use of the
bike lanes and to obey all traffic rules and regulations. The motorists in turn, should be
trained or educated not to pull into or park on the designated bike lanes and to be more

cautious and courteous around cyclists. The proposed plan which is recommended to
be implemented in two phases; short term (2008-2012) and long term (2013 - 2032) is
further categorized into the following three categories:-
Class 1 - Multi-Use Trails
The Region of Durham is planning to build 306 kilometers of multiuse trails within the
entire region in a span of twenty five years. As pointed out in the Region's Study, Multi
use trails will be facilities which are entirely separate from the traveled portion of a
roadway. They may be in the form of a boulevard trail in a public road right-of-way or
greenway/abandoned rail corridor.
Class 2 - Bike lanes and Paved Shoulder Bikeways
The Region is planning to build 122 kilometers of bike lanes and 341.70 kilometers of
paved shoulder bikeways within the entire region in a span of twenty five years. As
pointed out in the Region's Study, bike lanes and paved shoulder bikeways are located
in the traveled portion of the roadway and designed for one-way cyclist traffic. Bike
lanes are typically located on urban streets with curbs, and paved shoulders are
typically used to accommodate cyclists on rural cycling routes where no curbs exist.
Class 3 - Signed Only Routes
The Region is planning to build 538 kilometers of Signed Only Routes within the entire
region in a span of twenty five years. On-Road bicycle routes denoted strictly with
bicycle route signs and with no other physical changes to the roadway geometry as
pointed out in the cycling study of Durham. The users are to share the pavement with
motor vehicles and there are no special lane designations.
The proposed routes in the Regional Cycling Plan Study address the integration of
transportation network satisfactorily. More detail is required on how the proposed trails
and/or cycling routes are adjusted in location to integrate with desirable access points
within the existing and proposed neighbourhoods of the City within the cross regional
connectivity. The Cycling network should be integrated with other modes of
transportation particularly public transit which will help people to travel easily within and
between urban centers throughout the Region as well as access other parts of GTA,
and the report should strengthen a multi nodal system of interconnected trails which
could facilitate permeability among and thorough neighbourhoods. The study proposes
a lane space for bicyclists on the major street network where feasible but does not
highlight how a pedestrian from the bicycle networks will be integrated into the future
transportation planning. Such conflicts on trails can be a serious and a challenging
issue at the same time. The City of Pickering is of opinion that the Region should
develop some concrete strategies for the safety concerns and the pedestrians should
be considered as a part of every roadway environment. Attention must be paid to their
presence in rural as well as urban areas. Strategies should pertain to but not limited to:-
. Street surroundings that are perceived as unsafe to pedestrian due to crash risk of
bicycling, in other words bicycle and pedestrian collisions.

. Wide roads which are not easy for pedestrians to cross
. Insufficient lane space for bikes, etc.
City Staff recognizes multi use trails as an important tool in contributing non motorized
transport but would like to see more details on the multi usage trails design which is
built and maintained to minimize the conflicts between users. The study should also
indicate the maximum length of linkages between neighbourhoods and what will be the
measures adopted by the Region to avoid areas of high constraints while planning
these multi usage trails.
The proposed Cycling Plan is recommending that the City and Region should consider
purchasing a 10m swath of land adjacent to the south side of Highway 407 right-of-way
to ensure east-west connectivity for non-motorized travel. At this point of time the
captioned segment is being examined by the Province under Seaton's Natural Heritage
System (Master Trails Plan).
Similarly, the plan also recommends that the Region works closely with its respective
local municipalities to develop a strategic plan in creating Bicycle User Groups providing
advice and assistance to workplaces for developing a plan for provision of cycling trip
end facilities. However it does not clearly indicate what the Region's Policy will be on
end trip facilities or what strategy will be processed along with its financial implications.
The City of Pickering considers the Regional Cycling Plan as a sustainable strategy of
the Region of Durham and is willing to work with the Regional staff to shape it in a true
form of reality. However staff suggests that it needs further concentration on program
development and operations funding to ensure its successful implementation.
It is recommended that the Region should arrive with a broad and comprehensive
transportation plan focusing all the major concerns fully addressed and completely
integrated in local planning, design, and construction of the proposed cycling plan.
Moreover issues like reduced traffic congestion, road and parking facility savings,
reduced air and noise pollution, more efficient land use and last but not the least
financial savings be addressed in more detail.
The implementation strategy for the Proposed Cycling Plan identifies the phasing but
does not actually talk about priorities. This consideration must be emphasized. The
gaps should be identified in the local network followed by its remedial measures.
City Staff also proposes that the Region should certainly focus on psychosocial effects
on their proposed plan since certain patterns of transportation have a lot of effect on
human behavior including risk taking, aggressive behavior, etc.

The City Staff would like to carry out a detailed assessment of the proposed plan
associated to the financial implication. Also it is expected that a formal implementation
strategy needs to be developed by the Region of Durham identifying the cost of the
proposed network along with its priorities (short and long term) and an opportunity be
given to review the same.
