| Partners York Region Bike Summit 2014
Welcome to the inaugural 2014 York Region Bike Summit
Bike summits occur in communities around the world and provide a fantastic venue to create excitement about
cycling, network with stakeholders and help build the culture of cycling in communities where they are held.
A planning committee was developed in early 2014 to plan and implement the York Region Bike Summit.
The theme for this year’s summit is “Building partnerships for a more bike-friendly York Region,” and we hope this
event will do that. The 2014 York Region Bike Summit has been made possible through a grant from the Ontario
Sport and Recreation Communities Fund from the Government of Ontario and through the time and contributions
of the planning committee staff, their organizations and the Share the Road Cycling Coalition.
May the wind always be at your back.
Lindsay Rosien, Yvonne Kaczor, and Shawn Smith
Co-Chairs, 2014 York Region Bike Summit

Adam works in the Conservation Lands department at the TRCA in developing management plans
for TRCA’s almost 18,000 hectares of land. Part of his portfolio includes the development of an
updated strategy for managing TRCA’s over 600km of trail within the GTA. Adam will be touching on

Lauren Bates, Program Manager, Smart Commute - North Toronto Vaughan
Lauren has a BSc. in Psychology, specializing in research related to environmental behaviour
change and a Master’s in Environment and Sustainability from Western University with a focus
on sustainability consulting. She has worked with Smart Commute – North Toronto, Vaughan
since 2013. As Program Manager, she manages business partnerships and sustainable commute
programs for employees in York Region with such partners as the City of Vaughan, PowerStream,
SmartCentres, Vaughan Mills, and TRCA.
As an innovative program of Metrolinx, Smart Commute works to reduce traffic congestion and
transportation related greenhouse gas emissions in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area, while
working with a variety of stakeholders to improve the overall commute experience for citizens of
the region. Smart Commute partners with businesses to focus on the employee commute where
people are making a predictable, regular trip each day. Smart Commute encourages many
sustainable forms of transportation including active transportation such as cycling.
The Most Unlikely Cyclist: Encouraging the “Average” Commuter. Smart Commute NTV promotes
cycling to employees at partner businesses across North Toronto and Vaughan. Through campaigns
such as Bike to Work Day and Bike Month, as well as summer cycling contests, Smart Commute
aims to educate, reward and encourage cycling as a commuting option. Many commuter cyclists
we encounter at the businesses we work with should be commended for their dedication to the
bike – “hardcore” cyclists traverse snowy, high-traffic roads, often across long distances. But
what about the “average” commuter? Smart Commute NTV works to make cycling accessible for
everyone (recommending short distances and good weather conditions to start), which normalizes
the practice of cycling for travel across the region.
Lindsay Rosien, Public Health Nurse, Active Healthy Communities Program, The Regional
Lindsay has experience in many areas of public health, including physical activity promotion, injury
prevention, and workplace health programming. Physical activity promotion and building healthier
communities has been her focus for her 6 years with York Region and in that time, she has developed
and enhanced a number of partnerships and projects related to physical activity, active
transportation and healthy community design. Lindsay graduated with a Bachelor of Science in
Nursing from York University in 2003 and has previously worked with two other Public Health
Departments and for private sector businesses in an occupational health role.
Cycling Our Way to Improved Public Health: Cycling is an issue of public health importance, as less
than 10 per cent of children are currently meeting physical activity recommendations. We have seen
a nearly 50 per cent reduction in kids walking/biking to school as compared to a generation ago and many children and adults lack the confidence and general skills to use a bicycle.

What’s New in Cycling Facility Design in Ontario & York Region: Ontario Traffic Manual Book 18:
Cycling Facilities. Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) Book 18: Cycling Facilities (2013) is intended to
provide practical guidance on planning, designing and implementing cycling facilities within
municipal road right-of-ways that are context sensitive, but also contribute to greater uniformity
of design treatments across the province. Learn about some of the new cycling facility design
guidelines identified in OTM Book 18 including cycle tracks, buffered bike lanes and shoulders, cross
rides, pavement markings, signage, and coloured surface treatments in conflicts zones. Cycling
projects recently implemented in York Region and Toronto that demonstrate the application of some
of the new guidelines from OTM Book 18 will be highlighted. The presentation will conclude with a
few highlights from the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario’s new Bikeways Design Manual
(March 2014), which is based on similar design guideline principles as OTM Book 18, but intended for
provincial highway planners and engineers.
