The City of Victoria is seeking final input from residents, businesses and commuters on the next phase of the 32 km cycling network through James Bay.
Designs have been modified based on public input and are now available for further feedback before recommendations are made to Council later this summer.
Two north-south routes are planned for implementation in 2022: Government Street and Montreal Street.
Two east-west route options, Superior Street and Michigan Street, are also being considered – one of which will be pursued as part of priority investments in 2022.
The priority routes were shortlisted after a technical analysis and candidate exploration with the community in 2020.
More than 600 people participated in the first phase in February and March of this year, through surveys, mapping activities, and virtual meetings.
Participants can review the modified designs and a summary video and provide feedback by visiting the Cycling Network project at engage.victoria.ca from May 11th to June 11th, 2021.
“We heard diverse public feedback during the first phase. We’ve sharpened our pencils and have refined the design concepts. Now we invite the public to come back and review what has changed and how we’ve responded to public input,” said Mayor Lisa Helps.
“With a growing population, the City is continuing to invest in walking, cycling and public transit to support safe, healthy and affordable transportation options for everyone.”
