But wait: all the Sault’s bike lanes are still closed from Nov. 1 to April 30
In a decision that may confuse many, the City of Sault Ste. Marie has lifted a winter ban on riding bicycles in bike lanes, while leaving intact a bylaw that closes all bike lanes from Nov. 1 to April 30.
As SooToday reported last month, Ward 1 Coun. Sonny Spina, an avid cyclist who organized the DU283 duathlons supporting the Algoma Family Services Foundation, has been pushing for year-round use of bike lanes. "As people continue to use bicycles in the winter months, the section that makes it a violation to ride a bicycle in a bicycle lane should be removed," she said in a report to Mayor Shoemaker and councillors."The section closing bicycle lanes from Nov. 1 each year to April 30 of the following year should remain as is for liability purposes, since the city does not currently maintain bicycle lanes for the noted period," she said.
"As the owners of the land, do we not own liability anyway, no matter what?" the former police officer asked.
