A survey has been launched by Capital Bike in order to determine where Victoria residents would like to see future bike lanes be installed.
The City of Victoria is currently working on an update to their Official Community Plan (OCP).
Capital Bike plays a role in this because they operate as a non-profit organization in the city with the purpose of advocating to the city on behalf of all cyclists.
The City of Victoria just finished the installation of Fort Street’s protected bike lanes and both Saanich and Esquimalt completed installing new, mostly protected bike lanes on Tillicum Road.
Next, Victoria is installing bike lanes along Gorge Road all the way from Government Street into Saanich, and Esquimalt continues to work on the Lampson Street corridor’s protected lanes.
These are just the latest in the Capital Regional District’s ever-expanding all-ages and abilities (AAA) cycling network.
Now, Capital Bike wants to know what the next project they should be advocating for is and that is why they launched this survey.
In the survey, Capital Bike asks respondents whether they would like to see the next bike lanes emerge on main roads or side roads and they are asked to rate various routes on personal importance.
They are also asking in what area Victorians would like to see a bike valley similar to city hall’s be implemented.
The survey is meant for those who work, live or patronize businesses in the City of Victoria specifically.
It only takes around six minutes to complete and can be found online here.
