We now design our cycling facilities to be suitable for all ages and skills. Where possible we separate and protect cycling trails and bike lanes from car traffic.
We follow guidelines set out in the Capital Regional District Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan and British Columbia Active Transportation Design Guide.
Each year, we spend about $2 million improving and building bike trails and other cycling projects. Many factors help us decide on which ones are successful:
- Safety - will you be safe?
- Priority - is it in our Active Transportation Plan?
- Connectivity - will it join our existing network?
- Completion - of bike routes and corridors?
- Cycling Network - is it identified?
