Vision Statement of the Toronto Cyclists Union[1]

Vision

• We imagine a city that treats cycling as an important part of its transportation network.
• We imagine a city that respects cyclists and encourages more people to ride their bikes.
• We imagine safe, accessible cycling routes throughout the city including designated bicycle lanes that are properly enforced and maintained.
• We imagine infrastructure that support cyclists needs including ample bicycle parking, clear markings and appropriate signage.
• We imagine a vibrant, inclusive and influential cycling community with a major voice in all municipal and budgetary decision-making processes.
• We imagine a city where cycling flourishes
• And we imagine a cleaner, healthier, safer and more livable streetscape for all Torontonians.
• The Toronto Cyclists Union will work toward making this vision a reality today.

-I feel like the exact tone of this is probably not perfect for us-- it focuses very specifically on the TCU's "asks" with respect to city hall, whereas EBC is also focused on providing services ourselves-- but I think it's a great example of what a vision statement looks like.
