Does anyone have any more information about the older cyclist who hit the back of a Bell Telephone van on Bruce Rd 13 on Wednesday, August 3? I understand he was airlifted to hospital.
I had written twice to Bruce County planning dept and to Bruce County Tourism to let them know that an unmarked paved shoulder is dangerous for cyclists. In my first letter I told them many people were parking on the paved shoulder and this was dangerous. In my second letter I asked them if they would clarify--is the shoulder a linear parking lot or a bike lane? If it is the latter, we need signage and bike chevrons, if it is the former, please let cyclists know.
I didn't receive a reply to either letter--one written in May and the other in June.
