Dear Mayor Chiarelli & Councillor Arnold,
We are having another smog alert. Smog not only makes people sick, it
can kill them. In large part, the smog is due to all the internal
combustion engines spewing their pollutants into the atmosphere.
Please promote cycling and public transit to reduce the smog.
How about bike racks on more long OCtranspo routes?
How about more bike racks, near the attendants, as part of every
parking lot?
How about lockers & showering facilities mandatory at every big
workplace?
How about more bike racks at OC transpo stations when the current
ones are already full?
How about more bike racks in the Market, and less parking spaces?
How about spending money promoting cycling rather than studying ring
roads?
Then we can avoid:
DURING THE EPISODE INDIVIDUALS MAY EXPERIENCE EYE IRRITATION.
HEAVY OUTDOOR EXERCISE MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS SUCH AS
COUGHING OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH. PEOPLE WITH HEART OR LUNG DISEASE
INCLUDING ASTHMA MAY EXPERIENCE A WORSENING OF THEIR CONDITION.
Unless we address this, we may all be wearing gas masks - or pushing
daisies up.
Thanks, Tom Trottier
