Map of proposed bikeway on Richardson Street in Victoria.
A cyclist rides on Richardson Street. The bikeway planned for the street has generated vocal opposition, with a flurry of letters to the editor, a petition and an organized social-media presence called Rethink Richardson lobbying city council to revise the design. ADRIAN LAM, TIMES COLONIST Victoria council has opted to continue with an approved plan for a bikeway project on Richardson Street in a 6-3 vote that rejected a motion to delay for further consultation. Under the plan, the physical road will remain mostly the same, with added on-street parking in some areas that will narrow the road, and five traffic diversions that will prevent through-traffic for motor vehicles. Cyclists, who are normally required to ride as close to the right as possible, will share the road with motorists, who can pass a cyclist by pulling around on the cyclist’s left, as they would on any local street.

Perth County OPP is searching for suspects after damage was caused to a Monkton restaurant.
Police say they were called on Sunday after two suspects were seen causing mischief at the restaurant on Maddison Street East.
When confronted by the owner just after 2:00 o’clock in the morning, the suspects threw eggs at their vehicle, before fleeing on foot.
Investigators say there have been ongoing issues at the restaurant with spray painting, and the letters of the outdoor sign being rearranged or stolen in the middle of the night.
The suspects are described as both male, and approximately 16-18 years of age with one youth wearing a backpack, and the other wearing camouflage pants.
