Victoria has opened the latest addition to the city’s cycling network as GoByBike week kicks off from September 28 to October 4.
The newest bike lanes on Harbour Road are two-way and protected by a curb. With the lanes now open for public use cyclists can connect to the Galloping Goose Regional Trail from protected bike lanes on Pandora Avenue.
“I know we’ve all been limiting our interactions and sometimes just staying inside our homes to limit the spread of the pandemic,” said Mayor Lisa Helps.
“Cycling on our family-friendly network of bike lanes is a terrific way to get outside, get some fresh air and exercise and also get where you need to go safely, affordably and
sustainably.”
Work continues on cycling network additions on Vancouver, Jackson, and Graham Streets. Some portions of this route will use a shared-road design while others will have curb separated bike lanes.
The corridor is scheduled to be completed in early 2021.
The City is also inviting feedback for preliminary bike lane designs for Oaklands, Fernwood, and Fort Street Central corridors.
Residents, businesses and commuters can visit engage.victoria.ca for information on the routes and to offer feedback.
