Second number – a billion – from Richard Campbell at the British Columbia Cycling Coalition :
We are launching an exciting new campaign called a Billion for Bikes. We are asking the BC Government to commit a billion dollars over 10 years towards actions that will allow everyone in BC to walk or bike for they daily needs.
This investment would upgrade cycling facilities on provincial roads & bridges, complete cycling networks in communities across BC, provide safe routes to school for children and build trails & routes for cycling tourism.
We need lots of people to sign the petition to encourage the government to take this bold action.
Why now? The BC government has opened up a conversation with residence, and organizations about how we think we should prioritize, and change to meet the climate goals. Great, so let’s tell them by signing the petition.
We want to ensure biking and walking are a fundamental part of the Climate Leadership Plan and viewed as an effective, possible, and affordable tool for change. H
For detailed information, you can read our full recommendations report that we submitted to the Province.
