Edmonton approves $100 million over four years to build a mobility network

Edmonton approves $100 million over four years to build a mobility network

Following extensive discussion and many amendments to a multi-part motion, Edmonton City Council has voted to approve funding for the Bike Plan.

While billed as a “Bike Plan”, the plan is actually for a city-wide mobility network, which includes extensive shared pathways in appropriate contexts, such as along many of the arterials that comprise much of the district connector routes.

Today's your last chance until 2031: make your voice heard.

Today's your last chance until 2031: make your voice heard.

Council votes on bike plan funding first thing Friday morning, and it's in jeopardy.

The Bike Plan needs $200 million. Some councillors have proposed the plan receive only $30 million. If their proposal is accepted, the Bike Plan cannot be implemented as designed. The City's lack of debt room means that future funding for the Bike Plan won't become available until the 2031-2034 Capital Budget cycle.

Upcoming Bike 101 and 201 Courses

Join us this Saturday, November 4 from 9am-12pm for our Bike 201: Derailleurs and Shifting . You'll get hands-on experience with how to tune your derailleurs for easy shifting, diagnose problems, and find the right replacement parts.

On Saturday, November 19 from 9am-12pm we are offering our popular Bike 101 Course: Hands on Intro to Bike Maintenance. This is a great place to start if you have little or no experience working on bikes.
