[Talk-ca] A message aimed more at Ottawa

[john whelan]

I think the OSM article uses a variety of inputs.

https://urbandatacyclist.wordpress.com/2017/12/12/visualizing-the-bikeability-of-san-franciscos-roads/

It looks as if some work has been done in Vancouver.

It needs thinking through and combining both OpenStreetMap data and other
sources.

"Bikeability: The term bikeability refers to the level of interaction
between factors of the built and natural environments associated with the
demand for cycling including infrastructure, slope, land use
(destinations), and connectivity. This definition was derived from this
study <http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1068/b38185>."

Note it's not only cycle paths etc but destinations and other information.

The cycling organisations might understand it better.  I think also the
City of Ottawa has a person or group who promotes cycling and it might be
worth involving them.
