18	5	Eno	Loci	Voteloci@gmail.comy	416-732-9036	Yes	Budget permitting
19	6	Russ	Ford	Russford14@gmail.com	416-901-5511	Yes	There is no one solution to the transportation problem in this city. It has to be a comprehensive approach and bikes have to be part of the solution. To do that we have to take steps to ensure the viability of bike use. People will not ride if they do not feel it is safe.
20	6	Mark	Grimes	mark@reelectmarkgrimes.ca	416-251-0002	Yes	This is within the city goals
21	6	Michael	Laxer	electmichaellaxer@outlook.com	416-251-5576	Yes
22	6	John	Letonja	john.letonja@yahoo.ca	647-785-5055	Yes	Yes and no if there is room on the roads then Yes. We have to keep the traffic moving not creating smog in the air which is a heath hazard, with standing cars waiting for signal lights if you cut down a lane it creates more smog and traffic. The city can not grantee snow and ice on the bike lanes.
23	6	Peggy	Moulder	moulderpeggy@gmail.com	416-503-9864	Yes	Cycling is not only for recreation. It is also a healthy and practical transportation alternative to cars. We must implement a major network of safe cycling lanes, as quickly as possible, so that cyclists can travel throughout the City.
24	7	Scott	Aitchison	scott.aitchison072@sympatico.ca	416-749-2545	Yes
25	7	Nick	Di Nizio	Ndinizio@gmail.com	416-433-2169	Yes
26	7	Keegan	Henry-Mathieu	keegan18@gmail.com	416-817-2814	Yes	I support Mayoral Candidate Olivia Chow’s plan to build 200 km of protected bike lanes by 2018.
27	7	Larry	Perlman	larry.perlman@gmail.com	416-556-6407	Yes	As both a bicyclist and car driver, I feel that bicycles and automobiles sharing the same road space is not a good combination. There is far too much aggravation on the roads and bicyclists are always the victim. If bike lanes and boulevards result in more bicyclists riding more often and in safer conditions, it is always worth the cost.
28	8	Anthony	Perruzza	info@voteanthonyperruzza.com	416-338-5335	Yes
29	8	Arthur	Smitherman	adsco@outlook.com	647-393-8417	No	Bikes have to be taxed and licensed. Bike paths need to built; but we need to handle them on a case by case basis, and they do not integrate with the rest of the traffic. Cars/truck and bikes do not mix very well.
30	9	Maria	Augimeri	Councillor_augimeri@toronto.ca	416-392-0922	Yes
31	10	James	Pasternak	jamespasternak21@gmail.com	416-398-8257	No answer
32	11	Frances	Nunziata	votenunziata@gmail.com		No	I cannot say at this time that I would support this as I do not know what the financial implications of this would be, and I do not know whether it is something that could be accomplished by 2018. It is something worth exploring but it would be dishonest for me to say I would support it without these crucial pieces of information.
33	11	Daniel	Winer	daniel.winer.to@gmail.com	647-991-3269	Yes	But with the information I have now, I am not sure that this can be done in a four-year time frame. I'm all for it, but I'd need to make sure we can afford it first.
34	12	Nick	Dominelli	nick@nickdominelli.ca	416-900-9226	Yes	Yes in principle. The necessary studies on a case by case basis, with the necessary local community consultation should take place.
35	13	Thomas	Dempsey	thomas.dempsey13@rogers.com		Yes
36	13	Sarah	Doucette	sarah.doucette13@gmail.com	647-499-6613	Yes
37	13	Rishi	Sharma	rishi.ward13@gmail.com	647-701-9358	Yes	Depending on where bike lanes are suitable, yes. I cannot certainly commit to 100km without further analysis.
38	13	István	Tar	ttistvan@yahoo.ca	416-760-4971	Yes
39	14	Gord	Perks	vote@gordperks14.ca	416-223-3380	Yes
40	15	Ahmed	Belkadi	info@ahmedbelkadi.ca	647-969-3914	Yes	As an avid cycling enthusiast, I understand the need for bike lanes and I proudly support the Minimum Grid plan. Creating protected bike lanes is a practical way to deal with our City's congestion problem by offering citizens with a practical alternative to driving that'll surely result in less cars on our roads, while also ensuring the safety of both cyclists and motorists.
41	15	Eduardo	Harari	eduardo@eharari.ca	647-865-9167	Yes	It is important to create other ways of mobilization for our city as the normal ways are already crowded and have become an issue. By creating bike lanes two major things will be accomplished; first we will create a safe and effective transportation mode for people and second we will contribute to a clean bill of health for all.
42	16	Jean-Pierre (JP)	Boutros	JP@BoutrosTO.com	647-799-3799	Yes	With a caveat: The creation of such lanes cannot be at the expense of potential bus lanes. I am happy with mixed Bus/Bike/Taxi lanes, because there's only so much road to work with, like on Eglinton. With my TTC experience, I know how devastating it is when the Yonge subway is down and all that pressure goes to Yonge St. Eglinton must have enough flexibility to manage if/when the new LRT is down. For what it's worth, I commuted 20km/day to/from City Hall, and always preferred non-arterials, like Russell Hill and Beverley/St. George.
43	16	Christin	Carmichael Greb	christin@carmichaelgreb.ca	416-562-5801	No	Planning of bike lane infrastructure of this magnitude cannot be done in isolation. It must be part of a larger transportation infrastructure discussion that brings stakeholders and advocates together.
44	16	Michael	Coll	michael@collforward16.com	416-846-9844	Yes
45	16	Paul	Spence	ptspence@gmail.com	416-419-5075	Yes	not on main roadways, secondary roads only.
46	16	Adam	Tanel	adam@adamtanel.ca	416-575-9646	Yes	We need protected lanes for the safety of cyclists and the sanity of drivers. I have been a cyclist and driver in this city for a long time. The current infrastructure causes constant conflict; which is not helping anybody.
47	16	peter	vukosavljev	petervukosavljev@hotmail.com	647-857-4372	Yes

49	17	Alejandra	Bravo	connect@bravotoronto.ca	647-802-6586	Yes
50	17	George	Stevens	george20101@live.ca	647-720-6188	Yes	This would be a great idea to protect the people how ride their bikes to work and for recreation.Making the grid of 100km of protected bike lanes would protect the bikes from cars and having any tyes of accidents.
51	18	Ana	Bailão	Anabailao@hotmail.com	416-708-1958	Yes
52	18	Joseph	Ferrari	jcferrari83@hotmail.com	416-464-4759	Yes
53	18	Alex	Mazer	alex@alexmazer.ca	647-588-2051	Yes	My platform was one of the first to explicitly endorse the Minimum Grid. See http://www.alexmazer.ca/platform#moving
54	18	Elsa	Romao	erelsaromao@gmail.com	416-303-6501	Yes
55	19	Albina	Burello	Albina_b@yahoo.com	416-533-6395	Yes
56	19	Mike	Layton	info@mikelayton.ca	647-930-9401	Yes	There are cyclists and potential cyclists in all corners of our great city. I support and have worked for the implementation of a minimum grid of safe bike lanes in Ward 19 and throughout the City. I will continue to push for the installation of protected bike lanes across Toronto.
57	19	George	sawision	Georgesawision@ gmail.com	416-836-6406	Yes	Absolutely ,but on main streets! Contra flow streets have not been proven to be safe enough,especially with confusion amongst cyclists and motorists
58	20	Mike	Andreae	mike@voteMikeA.ca	647-560-0925	No	As a frequent and avid cyclist, I support making bicycling a better, safer, and more effective method of transportation. While I support the things that bicycle lane activists are trying to promote, I also recognize a variety of problems with segregating bicycle traffic out from other wheeled traffic. The single biggest issue is that by separating traffic on the road, and then combining it back in intersections, drivers and cyclists become confused and accidents in intersections are more likely. While it is very difficult to track bicycle accidents, a majority of them happen in intersections, where bike lanes exacerbate the problem. College Street is a good example; the bikes flow out of the bike lane and into traffic, again confusing drivers who expect them to stay in the bike lane, leading to many accidents. We need to promote transportation that does not involve carrying an extra 2000 lbs. of steel around with you and one in which you don’t need to further congest the road with parking. But bicycle lanes are not always the best solution. We should be careful that we don’t set up a road network with exacerbates confusion and aggression on the road between drivers and cyclists.
59	20	Levi	Cassidy	cassidyforcouncil@gmail.com	416-886-5299	Yes	As someone who rides his bike every single day of the year, I am embarrassed by the state of Toronto's cycling infrastructure. But, the will to improve exists, and as more and more Torontonians embrace a two-wheeled, healthier, cost-effective, more time-efficient lifestyle it's critical to ensure safety and security on the roads. When it comes down to it, investing in better cycling infrastructure benefits commuters of all stripes. It provides an escape from gridlock, or a can-of-sardines subway; it encourages lighter road use; it's environmentally friendly; and allows easier access to Toronto's businesses. There's nothing not to like.
60	20	Daryl	CHRISTOFF	daryl@darylCHRISTOFF.ca	416-428-6667	Yes	On streets that "safety" is ensured for the cyclist.
61	20	Joe	Cressy	joe@joecressy.ca		Yes	I believe it is crucial to protect cyclists and all road users by creating safer streets. Protected bike lanes will play an important role in getting our city moving again.
62	20	Reg	Hartt	regharttforWARD20@gmail.com	416-603-6643	Yes
63	20	Graham	Hollings	graham@grahamhollings.ca	416-994-9447	Yes	Yes, 41% of downtown residents walk or bike to work. And studies show that when cycling is safer, more people cycle. Cycling infrastructure is cheap to build (compared to roads and transit). Investing in cycling infrastructure will help reduce traffic congestion and will take some of the pressure off our transit system. Vancouver's starting to do it well, and Montreal does it much better than we do.
64	20	Kate	Holloway	kate@kateholloway.ca	416-477-2784	Yes
65	20	Anshul	Kapoor	anshul@anshulkapoor.ca	416-454-3538	Yes	It is not just about building a minimum grid. Toronto as a city needs to accept and raise awareness for the benefits of cycling. Our key issue is that we have not accepted our city as a cycling city. We need to communicate top down and bottom up that we are a city that accepts all modes of transportation and gives the resident to choose which is the best option for them. We need to prioritize cycling and ensure that awareness is generated that in Toronto we believe in complete streets. The education of what complete streets mean needs to be made available to both cycling and driving public. Both need to accept all vehicular types have a right to be on the street and should be respected.
66	20	Albert	Koehl	votealbert@koehl.ca	416-533-1231	Yes	The key issue is motor vehicle speed. In the downtown area where cycling levels are high and speeds relatively low, getting painted bike lanes onto the roads will be much faster (and face less opposition) than planning and implementing physically separated bike lanes. The cycling network can be increased more quickly and substantially. (Simple bollards may be useful, and enforcement against car and truck encroachment important.) Progress on bike lanes on higher speed roads (especially in the inner suburbs) will often require physical separation to effectively protect cyclists and encourage more cycling.
67	20	Dean	Maher	dean.maher@rogers.com	647-290-3652	Yes	We need a progressive Mayor and council elected to make this possible. I support it.
68	20	Kat	Shermack	kshermack@gmail.com	416-276-4403	Yes
69	20	Susan	Tsai	stsaiward20campaign@yahoo.ca	647-720-5810	Yes	I support building a minimum grid of 100 km of protected bike lanes on main streets and 100 km of bicycle boulevards on residential streets across Toronto by 2018. It would increase safety of cyclists while encouraging drivers to obey the speed limits. It would change the way in which roads are used by having more cyclist encouraged to use the bike lanes. City planning need the time and resources to create the bike lanes so that there is little or no disruption of services to the roads.
70	20	Ryan	Walters	info@ryanwalters.ca	647-379-5666	Yes	Absolutely - I support the Official Bike Plan that calls for 500km of bike lanes!
71	20	Nick	Wright	info@electnickwright.ca		Yes
72	20	Mike	Yen	info@mikeyen.ca	647-557-5214	Yes
73	21	Joe	Mihevc	joemihevc@gmail.com	416-900-0316	Yes
74	22	Josh	Matlow	josh@joshmatlow.ca	416-392-0290	Yes	If a funded plan for a contiguous bike network that has gone through proper communitiy consultation is presented to Council I will support it
75	23	John	Filion	johnmfilion@rogers.com	416-876-5521	Yes	It is a qualified yes. I would need to see details on cost and locations before committing to this exact number.
76	23	David	Mousavi	david_mousavi@hotmail.com	416-729-0824	Yes	Subject to timing constraints as it may take longer to assess the viability of lanes. But ultimately I am in favour of the Minimum Grid.
77	24	Dan	Fox	dan@danfox.ca	416-857-9603	Yes	With the support and consent of local residents and businesses in each area where the lanes are to be constructed. As we have learned in the last 4 years, it is critical to first build support of local residents and businesses for these projects. (Same caveat applies to all answers - community support is critical)
78	25	Tanya	Hostler	t.hostler@gmail.com	647-824-2628	Yes	I support building 100 km of protected bike lanes and 100 km of bicycle boulevards by 2018. My comments can be found in the link at www.TanyaHostler2014.ca/cycling.html [Candidate did not participate in original survey but confirmed support by email.]
79	25	Jaye	Robinson	info@jayerobinson2014.ca	416-485-2525	Yes	[Candidate did not participate in original survey but confirmed support by phone.]
80	26	jon	burnside	jon@jonburnside.com	416-546-9043	Yes	the cost of doing this must be considered
81	26	David	Sparrow	david@davidsparrow.ca	416-671-2095	No	I'm actually not against this. I'm a cyclist, however, I would need to see the plan and ensure that it coordinates well with other transportation initiatives before I could say Yes or No.
82	26	Ishrath	Velshi	vote@ishrathvelshi.com	647-454-2662	Yes
83	27	Pat	Roberge	info@patroberge.ca	416-333-3727	Yes	Yes. But to minimize the costs and save room from the main street, I would suggest to build 2 ways bike lanes on the same side of the street when possible, like some cities in Europe.
84	27	Kristyn	Wong-Tam	contact@kristynwongtam.ca	647-496-8153	Yes	Toronto in recent years has stood out as one of the new international major cities removing cycling infrastructure. I have been a vocal advocate for cycling infrastructure and cycling safety in Toronto and fought passionately against the removal of the Jarvis Bike Lanes. 100km of protected bike lanes should be a minimum standard to achieve by 2018 to get people out of cars and moving safely throughout our city. In other areas of Toronto, non-separated bicycle boulevards already work well, and should be expanded upon to ensure that Toronto's bike network connects more effectively and services all neighbourhoods. Creating a complete grid of separated bike lanes is a priority and one of the most effective ways of encouraging cycling, over private automobile use to eliminate congestion.
85	28	Howard	Bortenstein	info@howardbortenstein.com	647-847-3332	Yes	I believe we need to Share the Road and get all road users moving as efficiently and as safely as possible. Bike lanes need to be built for with adequate drainage, allowing for (summer/winter) maintenance and using road materials that improve safety and durability of bike lanes. I also believe the existing 200 kms of white line bike lanes should be slightly elevated than the motor vehicle portion of the road and also appropriately graded and marked where they meet.
86	28	Pam	McConnell	pam.mcconnell.2014@gmail.com		Yes	I have always been an enthusiastic supporter of separated bike lanes, and I am very proud of the Wellesley and Sherbourne lanes installed during this term, and very disappointed in the removal of the Jarvis lanes.
87	28	Sean	Yilmaz	sean.yilmaz28@gmail.com	647-300-5539	Yes	This is a huge priority. We should never be taking out bike lanes (Jarvis) but rather investing in them. There are many benefits but I think one of the most important is the safety of all users of the road.
88	29	Mary	Fragedakis	mary@maryfragedakis.ca	416-425-2900	Yes	I support building another 200 km of bike lanes and boulevards. I would like to bring back the Cycling Advisory Committee and have that group help to evaluate our current cycling infrastructure, especially for safety, and reviewing innovations – be they adaptions from what is going on elsewhere or new ideas generated locally - used to encourage cycling and improving cycling safety.
89	29	John	Papadakis	electpapadakis@gmail.com	647-349-7288	No	I support bike lanes on residential but not main streets at this time.
90	30	Jane	Farrow	jane@janefarrow.ca	647-500-0385	Yes	To get this city moving we not only have to improve transit, but get people out of vehicles out rolling, biking, walking, jogging. Making useable, safe bike infrastructure is the most effective way to get people out on bikes. We need more bike lanes pronto.
91	30	Paula	Fletcher	info@paulafletcher.com	416-461-3100	Yes	As a cyclist, I've had the unfortunate experience of being doored so I know first-hand the cycling infrastructure is a critical piece of our transportation infrastructure. I talk to residents often who say they want to be on their bikes but the lack of infrastructure makes the prospect too intimidating. Building more bike lanes will get more residents out of their cars and onto their bikes. It's not enough to commit to a Minimum Grid - we also need to commit to maintaining the lanes we have. I've been asking Transportation to improve visibility on the bike lane across the Bloor viaduct with mixed results. Bike lanes with faded paint you can hardly see or full of pot holes you have to swerve around don't help cyclists. We also need to commit to enforcing the by-laws - too many times I see trucks or cars pulled over right into the bike lane. Let's build more bike lanes, and let's better maintain the ones we have.
92	30	daniel	trayes		647-469-0625	Yes	I answered yes to this but that answer is given with an explanation. I think more studies have to be done and programs actually have to be implemented. council voted for further bike lanes then flip flopped. so I think this is an issue that must be discussed with all community members it affects and all councillors.
93	30	liz	west		416-419-4555	Yes
94	31	Janet	Davis	info@JanetDavisCampaign.ca	416-238-3251	Yes	Not sure the 2018 timeline is realistic though.
95	31	George	Papadakis	votegeorgepapadakis@gmail.com	647-955-5393	No	This is a sensitive issue and has merit. As there is more need for these kinds of lanes, I'm sure there is a reasonable process that can be developed for bike lane expansion both in the core and in the suburbs. Not sure if a 100 is too much or too little.
96	31	Russell	Rahman	info@russellrahman.ca	647-886-6427	Yes	With more people biking as their preferred form of transit, this can help ease traffic congestion and encourage more people to bike. Biking can help improve physical health and well-being, and also is an environmentally-sound solution. We can also explore variations of protected bike lanes that include buffered and raised lanes, floating parking and extruded curbs.
97	31	Michael M.	Sokovnin	sokovninmm@yahoo.com	416-917-5045	No	I find far too many bike users abuse the road and rules of the road
98	31	Aaron Mark	Turnbull	turnbull2021@gmail.com	416-676-8660	No	At first blush, no, I'd want to see a plan and projected costs before I'd commit to a yes on that matter.
99	32	Mary-Margaret	McMahon	mcmahoncan2014@gmail.com	647-456-3184	Yes	Cycle to work regularly! My whole office does!! Really physically separated! Not just paint!
100	32	MARIA	REMERATA-GARCIA	gemjab5@live.com	416-874-0442	Yes	I DONT BIKE ON THE STREETS.

104	34	Mary	Hynes	hynes4council@rogers.com	416-444-9737	Yes	If possible - important priority, but not only priority for Complete Streets

107	35	Assefa	Teferi	muscup4peace@yahoo.ca	647-537-5784	Yes	This may be a budget concern. I hope, my consensus building skills will help me to persuade other council members.
108	35	Shahid	Uddin	shahid.toronto@gmail.com	416-707-1776	No	I support bike lanes if it can be done without reducing regular lanes

112	38	Rajesh	Shah	rajeshshah2004@rogers.com	647-283-6214	Yes	Bicycling is a healthy habit and will reduce pollution as well as the use of vehicles. At the same time, it is foremost important to ensure the safety of bicyclists and I don't see their safety on the roads even though there is a designated lane for them. My suggestion is to have a separate lane next to walkways.The reason is that cyclist are vulnerable on the roads and drivers do not check their mirrors off and on and cyclists squeeze past them.
113	39	Christopher	Blueman	cb@chrisblueman.com	1-888-252-8753 x88	Yes
114	39	Clayton	Jones	clayton.jones@mail.utoronto.ca	647-979-5867	Yes	Yes, I support the construction of adding a minimum Grid of 100 km of protected bike lanes on main streets and 100 km of bicycle boulevards on residential streets across Toronto by 2018. The bicycle boulevard on residential streets is a beautiful project, as expanding the cycling paths offer Torontonians more to discover in the local communities. The protected bike lanes on main streets have a lot of issues due to original city planning/infrastructure. Many roads downtown Toronto are very narrow, creating issues since widening of roads and sidewalks are priority, but having a lack of space to resolve the issue. Altering main roads for designated north/south and east/west one way bike paths would be ideal and offer the city the options to develop these protected bike lanes on main roads.

119	43	Paul	Ainslie	paul@voteainslie.ca	416-566-2843	Yes	There must be a co-ordinated effort to start from the downtown core and move outwards towards the suburbs. There must also be an effort to engage public transportation services such as GO Transit to have more avaiability for people to bring their bicycles with them
120	43	Jason	Colterman	jcolterman@rogers.com	416-587-5971	Yes	In creating a safe and accessibly city we need to think of the safety of everyone. The creation of protected bike lanes protects pedestrians from bikes on the sidewalks as the cyclists feel safer and will use these lanes. It protects the cyclists from vehicle traffic and the risk of vehicles entering the bicycle lanes or opening doors. And it protects the vehicles reducing the risk of cyclists entering live lanes of traffic to avoid obstacles or other cyclists.

124	44	Richard	Ross	richard@voterichardross.ca	416-991-7784	Yes	If there is space on the roads to allow for the bike lane without losing lanes for driving.

127	Mayor	Morgan	Baskin	mbaskin@morganbaskin.ca	647-560-1768	Yes	A grid gets used. Fractured bike lanes only add to the problem.
128	Mayor	Jeff	Billard	jeffbillard@gmail.com	416-245-5273	Yes	Please see my platform position on this at mayorbillard.com/2014/03/10/billard-mayoral-platform/
129	Mayor	Selina	Chan	selinachan@50mmphotography.ca	416-937-0888	No
130	Mayor	Olivia	Chow	info@oliviachow.ca	437-888-1275	No answer	Olivia will build 200 kilometres of separated and designated bike lanes and boulevards to deliver a safe cycling grid in four years. You can see her policy at oliviachow.ca/transit.
131	Mayor	James	Dalzell	Dalzellj@gmail.com	416-948-5123	Yes	The roads are getting too congested and dangerous for all parties involved.
132	Mayor	Mike	Gallay	mayor@mikegallay.com	416-551-7755	Yes	I am a vocal and consistent supporter of significantly increasing Toronto's network of bike lanes and boulevards, though I contend that kilometre goals alone (or decontextualized) are insufficient metrics for improvement. I would rather see a focus put on establishing several dedicated bike lines spanning entire north/south and east/west main streets which grid the city for widespread bicycle access. If every spot in the city is essentially a few minutes at most from a bicycle lane network I feel that's a much more effective push than the bicycle-markings-on-every-street which many have lobbied for, and is somewhat unrealistic (certainly in any timely fashion) and often unsafe.
133	Mayor	Norman	Gardner	nrmgardner@rogers.com	416-825-5303	No	I do not think this possible without creating gridlock . I support establishing bike lanes on specific routes but anyone who thinks a co-ordinated link by 2018 is not being realistic. However, I am always willing to listen to proposals. I have family members who cycle to work, but only in the summer. Winter cycling could be difficult or dangerous.
134	Mayor	Ari	Goldkind	ari@ariformayor.com		Yes	My position on cyclists has always been summarized by a big “yes,” which means, in short, that I will do all that I can to help bring cycling into the forefront of city living. I live and work downtown, which means I am just as interested in improving the cycling system as a citizen as I am as Mayor. I know that the more opportunities there are for people to cycle safely in this city, the more people will do so, and the more this will benefit everyone. I fully agree with the statements made on MinimumGrid.ca and I recognize that more people – including me – will use bikes when they become easier and safer to use. See full bike policy at http://ariformayor.com/plan/ [Candidate did not initially complete survey but sent response by email.]
135	Mayor	Charles	Huang	charles@skytouch.ca	416-837-4965	Yes	As long as cyclist pay road taxes too and can be converter car priority on rush hours
136	Mayor	Chinh	Huynh	Huynh.cn@hotmail.com	647-262-6254	No answer
137	Mayor	Klim	Khomenko	info@klimkhomenko.ca	416-992-9594	Yes
138	Mayor	Dewitt R.	Lee	atogethertoronto@gmail.com	647-745-6460	Yes	Its time we make a commitment and provide safe travel for our cyclists. Most of major cities across the world have extensive bike plans and this would be an incredible achievement to say we were able to achieve. To encourage a greener way for transportation we have to provide the lanes.
139	Mayor	Dave	McKay	sketchy@sketchyformayor.com	647-504-7873	No	I support increasing the amount of bike lanes. Not necessarily setting a minimum for protected lanes.
140	Mayor	Michael	Nicula	Michael@Mayor4.TO	416-567-6913	Yes
141	Mayor	Ashok	Sajnani	dr.ashok.sajnani@gmail.com	416-723-7760	No
142	Mayor	Gabriel	Shaughnessy	gshaughn@hotmail.com	416-452-1862	Yes
143	Mayor	Erwin	Sniedzins	esniedzins@gmail.com	416-858-2618	Yes	From life long cyclists I hear mixed opinions on safety, education, dedication. I certainly support an extensive 100 km network of bike lanes through ravines, parks, residential streets leading to and from Downtown. This will require a dedicated Toronto user environmental tax on all bikes sold in Toronto to police, maintain & education the program. Most bike user would support this initiative if it was transparent & program understood. Just building bike lanes without proper public & residential education, safety rules and regulation would also pose hazards to amateur cyclists, unaware public and city lawsuits.
144	Mayor	David	Soknacki	david@soknacki2014.com	647-797-3546	Yes	Yes, and as I’ve proposed doing so by doubling the bike lane budget from 20015-2018 inclusive, rather than by simply finding room in the existing budget, I believe I am the only candidate who has actually made this commitment credibly to date.
145	Mayor	Tibor	Steinberger	tibor@tiborsteinberger.ca	416-486-4207	Yes
146	Mayor	Sarah	Thomson	sarah@sarahthomson.ca	647-361-8380	Yes	My Bike City plan to build 1000 kms of bike boulevards on residential streets, and 42 kms of new physically separated bike lanes. For full plan see http://www.sarahthomson.ca/sarah-thomson-will-make-toronto-a-world-class-cycling-city/
147	Mayor	John	Tory	info@johntory.ca	416-916-8679	No answer	Toronto’s cycling infrastructure needs a boost. The number of cyclists in the city has grown, but infrastructure has not kept pace. I will be announcing my cycling policy in the weeks ahead.
148	Mayor	Michael	Tramov	Tramov5@gmail.com	647-292-9265	Yes
149	Mayor	Richard	Underhill	rich@underhillformayor.com	416-599-1637	Yes	Building cycling infrastructure is the most cost efficient way to help ease the burden on our transit system and roadways. My platform addresses the need for improved cycling routes. I would be happy to exceed the minimum grid and demand world class biking infrastructure with protected bike lanes throughout the city on major roadways.
150	Mayor	Daniel	Walker	danformayor@hotmail.ca	647-763-0875	Yes	Don't know about protected bike lanes but I'am for more bike lanes.
151	Mayor	jack	weenen	jackweenen@gmail.com	647-461-3535	Yes
