thereby facilitating the use of modes of transportation that are socially

segregated lanes for cyclists crossing the downtown core in both East-West
and North-South directions, even where such facilities require changes to
existing parking or travel lanes.

segregated lanes as well as sidewalks are proposed.
c. That new roads and
re-construction projects with urban cross-sections include segregated cycling
facilities and budget for them accordingly.
