I will now point out that there is a fully protected cycling route through the alleys of Hamilton from Downtown to Hamilton General Hospital. See my latest article on the Jane’s Ride that I will lead on May 7 which will do just that.

This alley route also bypasses all traffic lights. Depending on how fast one wants to ride, it will take a not-so-whopping 10-15 minutes to travel from Downtown to HGH. Where one can put a lot of bike parking into a small area.

For someone living downtown, riding a bicycle is by far the fastest means of travelling to Hamilton General Hospital. In many cases, the entire travel time is less than it takes for a car driver to walk from a car parking lot to the Hospital. All it really requires is maintaining the infrastructure: Fixing or installing the alley paving, clearing snow and providing bike parking. All of which is far, far cheaper than the status quo or any alternative.

Fastest, cheapest, easiest, most convenient… what’s not to like?
