Adding bicycle lanes helps make Guelph a community that accommodates all road users, including public transit riders, cyclists, pedestrians and vehicle drivers. In a 2015 telephone survey Guelph residents informed us that improved infrastructure features motivate respondents to use a bicycle to travel to work, school or to run errands.
In fact, seventy per cent of respondents said they are more likely to ride a bicycle when there are bicycle lanes present. [Staff (2015). The Corporation of the City of Guelph. Telephone Survey.]
