ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK IS HOW WE ARE “BUILDING BACK BETTER”

  • 17.9 kilometres of new bicycle lanes or separated bicycle lanes
  • This represents a 30% increase to the amount of on-road bicycle lanes in the network
  • Residents will need additional transportation options during the COVID recovery period
  • This framework is aligned with the Cycling Master Plan, Vision Zero and the Climate Change Action Plan

PRIORITIZING RAPID IMPROVEMENTS

  • Public Health – for areas of need due to COVID risk
  • Population Density
  • Personal Vehicle Ownership
  • Workplace Commute Distances under 10km

ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION 2020 CAPITAL PROGRAM

  • Multi-use trails and sidewalks
  • Highlights:
    • Derry Road MUT – completes AT corridor, continuous MUT between Ninth Line and Argentia
    • Mavis Road MUT – extends existing MUT, continuous MUT between Cantay and Winterton
    • Terry Fox Way Sidewalk – completes connection between Britannia and Matheson

NEW BICYCLE LANE INSTALLATIONS

  • Bike lane installations before the end of 2020
  • Some already in design stages
  • Convert some of the temporary lanes into long-term installations
  • Those temporary lanes not converted to long-term installations will be removed prior to the onset of winter (if not sooner)
