    Is there any lobbying done on behalf of active transportation? If Maple Ridge is developing a transportation plan now, it is an ideal time to try and affect that plan. I am an experienced bike rider and am afraid to cycle down many streets in MR. I

      Hi Tim,
      Our HUB Cycling Local Committee has been advocating for people cycling (as well as people walking) in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows since 2009.
      To illustrate some of what we’ve been doing, on our HUB LC’s Wiki (https://wiki.bikehub.ca/index.php?title=Maple_Ridge/Pitt_Meadows_Committee_Wiki) you can find many letters and e-mails that have been sent over the years to different levels of government, but mostly the City of Maple Ridge. As you mentioned in your comment, the City of Maple Ridge is finalizing its new Strategic Transportation Plan for the next 30 years. The Plan is updated every 10 years. The Plan will be presented to Mayor and Council at Tuesday’s Workshop, and endorsement is planned for after the summer break. Our HUB Local Committee has provided ample feedback for this Plan, in May and December of 2021, and July 2022. See our Wiki. We may send more feedback after Tuesday’s presentation.
      If you’re interested in learning more, and perhaps becoming involved in making cycling better in our community, you’re very welcome to come to one of our meetings. We will not be meeting this month. Our next meeting is on August 10. In August we usually have a Pizza-in-the-Park meeting (Memorial Peace Park), so if you’re planning on attending, please send an e-mail to mapleridge-pittmeadows@bikehub.ca to let us know.

      Hi Shu, once we decide on location (either the Maple Ridge Library, Alouette Room, or Memorial Peace Park), I will send you an e-mail. Our meetings start at 5:45 pm.
