Planning and Designing Routes
Following prioritization, routes were scheduled considering planning, design and public engagement needs. This stage of work included identifying facilities, assessing constraints and determining route complexity. Key considerations included:
- Feedback gathered during public engagement for the Bike Plan and The City Plan
- Opportunities to align with other city projects and programs
- The rapid expansion of the network
The infrastructure for each active transportation route will be selected considering the function, design, speed and traffic volumes of the roadway, as well as constraints including utilities, trees, access and parking. When building active transportation routes, we are guided by the Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards and best practices with careful consideration given to designing for users of all ages and abilities.
