2014 Municipal Elections Survey

I bike I vote

 

On September 16, 2014, the SCU sent all municipal candidates a survey to ask if they would support safe cycling initiatives. Responses were received from 50% of the candidates.

What did our elected representatives say about supporting safe cycling in Sudbury? See who answered below, and their stated level of support for safe cycling.

On September 16, 2014, we sent all candidates a survey, asking them for their support for safe cycling initiatives and strategies in Greater Sudbury. Two candidates did not have email addresses, and surveys were hand delivered to them on October 1, 2014.

Questions were compiled in consultation with many Greater Sudbury cyclists and reflect the issues that are important to them.

On October 1, 2014, we sent all candidates out top election priorities, asking them to support them if they are elected.
