We find out Monday night whether or not city council supports a study into a citywide bike share program.
Last April, Windsor's Transportation Standing Committee voted in favour of spending up to $70,000 for a feasibility review, business plan, preliminary station locations and market analysis.
If the study moves ahead, Lori Newton of Bike Windsor Essex is concerned about a lack of education.
"Drivers and cyclists and pedestrians are not educated about how to react and maneuver and navigate our streets," she says. "If you think too, about new Canadians, they may not understand English that well, they haven't ridden a bicycle or driven a car on our streets."
While Windsor lacks cycling infrastructure, Newton points to Detroit and what seems to have worked just across the river.
"They've sort of done it both at the same time, so they've been putting in infrastructure at a really tremendously impressive rate. Obviously in Detroit they've got the company, boots on the ground, they're doing education, they're doing promotions, they're out encouraging people to try MoGo and that's led to the success of the program."
At the end of the day Newton says she supports the bike share program but adds there are a lot of pieces that need to be put into place.
"What education are we doing, how are we going to get people encouraged to use it and to use it properly, to use the infrastructure that we have? It's complicated," she says. "They've got to do the whole big picture or I fear it's not going to be that successful."
If approved, the study would be funded from the city's Bikeways Developments Capital Project.
The University of Windsor Students' Alliance launched a two year bike share pilot project in September 2016, it wrapped up in late 2018 and cost the University of Windsor Student Alliance more than $156,000.
