I didn't have time to read the entire cycling death review. I read parts of it and in the executive summary it is pretty clear. Yes he calls for "complete streets approach" but he is also quite straight forward in his call for cycling helmets, not once but twice. Here is the list of all his recommendations.
"Our recommendations include:
Adoption of a “complete streets” approach – focused on the safety of all road users - to guide the redevelopment of existing communities and the design of new communities throughout Ontario.
Development of an Ontario Cycling Plan to guide the development of policy, legislation and regulations and the commitment of infrastructure funding to support cycling in Ontario.
A comprehensive cycling safety public awareness and education strategy, starting in public schools, and continuing through the purchase of every new and used bicycle and through driver’s license testing.
Legislative change (Highway Traffic Act (HTA); Municipal Act; relevant Municipal By-Laws) aimed at ensuring clarity and consistency regarding interactions between cyclists and other road users.
Strategies to promote and support helmet use for cyclists of all ages.
Implementation of mandatory helmet legislation for cyclists of all ages, within the context of an evaluation of the impact of this legislation on cycling activity.
Establishment of a “one-meter” rule for vehicles when passing cyclists.
Prioritizing the development of paved shoulders on provincial highways.
Mandatory side-guards for heavy trucks.
Enforcement, education and public safety activities targeted to the specific issues of cycling safety identified in a given community."
Again its funny how the calls for the mandatory use of helmets is always met with lies, falsehoods and nonsense on this site. It's pretty straight forward if you are involved in a bicycle accident you are safer wearing a helmet than without one. It's just common sense, why would anyone even try and argue that?
Let the downvoting begin.
