I think his offensive game has really come along this year, NHL Central Scoutings John Williams told NHL. December. Hes got a fair number of goals and hes pushing the game offensively more than he did last year. Last year he was good offensively he moved the puck but he got hurt and missed a lot of time. He was feeling his way more last year. Valimaki missed 1. This year hes been more assertive and hes trying to dictate the game more, said Williams. That assertiveness and ability to jump off his blue line post and join an offensive rush makes him a high risk, high reward kind of player, as hes not the kind of stay at home rearguard some clubs may be seeking.

Cycling City of Ottawa. The City of Ottawa will be piloting a new type of cycling facility on low volume, low speed streets called advisory bike lanes. Its a new way for motorists and cyclists to share the road. Nokia Content Signing Cards' title='Nokia Content Signing Cards' />While similar to regular bicycle lanes which are marked on pavement by solid white lines, advisory bicycle lanes are used on narrow, low volume streets and are marked with dashed lines. These markings give cyclists riding space, but are also available to motorists if needed to pass oncoming traffic. This concept has been used in other cities, but not in Ottawa. For more information on advisory bicycle lanes, please view the video, image and Frequently Asked Questions below. Want to see advisory bike lanes in action View the You. Tube video of advisory bicycle lanes in operation in the Netherlands. A new way for drivers and cyclists to share the road. How they work Advisory cycling lanes a new way for drivers and cyclists to share the road. Motorists share a wide lane with oncoming vehicles. Each side of the road has an advisory cycling lane. Drivers move into the right hand cycling lane when passing oncoming vehicles. Motorists must yield to cyclists already in that space. Motorists travel behind cyclists until it is safe to move back into their lane. Visit our You. Tube Page and click show more for the descriptive video text. Frequently Asked Questions. Where is the City installing advisory bicycle lanes As a pilot trial exercise, the City will be installing advisory bike lanes on Somerset Street East between Chapel Avenue and Range Road and potentially on Byron Avenue between Sherbourne Road and Broadview Avenue. While additional locations could be added as part of the pilot, these are the only two locations being considered at this time. Are advisory bicycle lanes going to be used as a traffic calming measure No. We will not be considering the use of advisory bicycle lanes exclusively to help slow traffic. To implement advisory lanes, do you simply add painted dashed lines on the side of the road or are there other features There are two important considerations. First, advisory lanes are only appropriate on low volume, low speed street segments. As such, should volumes and speeds be higher than appropriate, changes such as traffic calming would be required to get speeds and volumes down to levels that would allow for proper operation of advisory lanes. Second, to mark the presence of advisory lanes, both painted dashed lines and supporting signage would be used. What happens if advisory bicycle lanes dont work as envisioned Staff will monitor operations to help complete a before and after evaluation. Where the design is not operating as it should, adjustments will be made to correct the issue. Should those adjustments fail to address the issues they were intended to correct, the advisory lanes would be removed. Doesnt the City already have advisory bicycle lanes on Fifth Avenue between OConnor Street and Queen Elizabeth DriveYes and no. Advisory style markings have been used on Fifth Avenue between OConnor Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive, however these are not considered true advisory bicycle lanes. The Fifth Avenue treatment provides two separate vehicular lanes divided by a yellow centreline. The advisory bicycle lane concept for the pilot does not use a yellow centreline and the width of the two way centre lane would be less than what is traditionally used for two full vehicular lanes.
