Neighbourhood Bikeways Identification and Prioritization
About the project
Saanich’s Active Transportation Plan shows a long-term bicycle network, but now we need to identify which streets should become neighbourhood bikeways and which should be other types of cycling facilities. The Neighbourhood Bikeways Identification and Prioritization project is informing decisions around neighbourhood bikeways and created a process to prioritize which bikeways get built first.
Neighbourhood Bikeways are streets with low traffic and speed, where people cycling and driving can safely share the road.
