Yes, the cycling strategy did a fair amount of representative surveys. Focused on citizens' appetite to cycle and under what conditions.
Through things like Centre City cycle track planning groups like BOMA have surveyed tenants of buildings to gauge support from your average downtown worker on their desire to see infrastructure. Those surveys show that about 2/3 are supportive of dedicated space. This is normal stakeholder engagement activity (there are many conduits) - we prefer not to develop public policy and infrastructure investment decisions on a referendum model.
