Active Transportation Plan Review – City Hall, November 13, 2024, 9:30am
There has been a lot of controversy about active transportation and bike lanes recently with the Province tabling legislation that would override municipal planning and transportation departments to control where cities and towns across the Province can put on-street bicycle infrastructure. The City will be reviewing its plans in light of this legislation. If you believe in safe streets and having a choice in how you get around your City come out on November 13th to support delegations from BikeBrampton and the BEA. It should be an interesting meeting!

Here are several surveys hosted by the City of Brampton that should be of interest. They are all short , (less than 10 minutes each). Make sure your voice is heard on these important issues.
