THE PLAN

Biking made easy

Biking made easy

Ensure a safe and comfortable ride for all bike+ users.

The absence of a robust and connected network of high-quality bike corridors through and around Downtown has hindered growth in the cycling community. The Downtown Mobility Plan will define priority bike corridors, improve links to regional connection points, and introduce new amenities such as end-of-trip facilities, including bike parking. It recommends a fully protected bike+ loop around Downtown that aligns with scheduled transit improvements to enhance safety, improve riding comfort, and provide adjacent neighborhoods with enhanced access to the benefits and opportunities of Downtown.
