Dr. Hannah Daly:

It is a great idea. It should be looked into. I am a parent of two young kids. When they become more independent, if they had the option of cycling by themselves safely to school, I would take that option. It would reduce overall traffic and give them a level of independence, not relying on being driven around. It is more my personal intuition rather than my expertise, but we should try as much as possible to make that safe connectivity between schools and housing centres, which is dedicated bike lanes.
