Jagmeet Singh sharing his insights on cycling infrastructure during his stop at the Bike Windsor Essex Hub

Dark tinted car windows create a hazard for people walking and people cycling as they prevent eye contact between the car and the ped/rider especially in intersections - where most collisions occur.

Our friends at Bike Windsor Essex have created a survey to help inform the upcoming Active Transportation Plan. Weigh in and contribute to this invaluable data!
