| Inquiry (sent on October 1, 2010) | Cycling Issues in Edmonton Schools Questionnaire |
|---|---|
| Response | Below, you will find my responses to questions on cycling issues: 1. I walk my yellow lab twice a day (sometimes three times) for leisure and for my exercise at a nearby dog off-leash park. 2. I do not feel comfortable riding on major roadways.
… (show more)2a. I feel that students are comfortable cycling to school, as most schools are in close proximity to their homes. 3. I would support the use of a professional marketing firm undertaking a promotional campaign to encourage active transportation among students and staff. 4. In order to make health a priority, especially in regards to active transportation, I would endeavor to stimulate an expression of those views by whatever means possible. We need to engage all of the stakeholders in a constructive, collegial discussion. 5. I would encourage study of the student health (and correlated academic) consequences of school closure. 5a. I would look at other successful initiatives (such as the initiative in Nova Scotia) around North America and then apply them to the EPSB District. 6. Yes, schools in my ward (Ward E) have adequate, secure bicycle parking. 7. I would enlist the various educational consultants and have them come up with education programs to encourage effective cycling. 8. Same answer as #3. i.e. undertake a promotional campaign to encourage active transportation among students and staff. For information purposes only, the Head Custodian at my daughter’s school rides his bicycle to school each and every day. 9. I do not have a photo of myself riding a bicycle. |
