On Nov 09, 2015 a group of New Brunswick cyclists met with Dr Ed Doherty, MLA for Saint John Harbour. The proposal was to sponsor legislation of a collaborative effort by Saint John Cycling, Fredericton Folks on Spokes and the Capital Region Bicycle Advisory Group to increase bicycle safety in New Brunswick by amending and modernizing the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act.
