Protected bike lanes proposed for 83 & 102 Avenues
After a year of consultation with communities and developing plans that balance the needs of cyclists, motorists, residents and businesses, City staff are ready to present the proposed protected bike lane designs for the Downtown and Strathcona bike routes.
 A protected bike lane, otherwise known as a cycle track, is physically separated from motor vehicle traffic, parked cars and sidewalks, providing a safe and dedicated space for cyclists. The separation can be formed by installing barriers, bollards or by raising the bike lane higher than the road surface.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed their time, expressed their opinions and helped in the design process to date. We hope you will stay engaged for the next two stages, where we'll refine the bike lane design plans and then consider landscaping and aesthetic enhancements.
We invite you to come to the public workshops next week. The project team has come up with creative solutions to address concerns previously raised by citizens and we continue to value your input.
Join Us.
