Convenient bike routes encourage alternative modes of transportation.
In Ontario, walking and bicycling contribute to an efficient mode of transportation and promote a healthy lifestyle. Development patterns, a mix of land uses and the design of our roadways, buildings and development sites are an integral part of the pedestrian and bicycle system.
Goal
| M2 |
A system of trails and corridors that facilitate and encourage bicycling and walking. |
Policies
| M2-1 |
Bikeway Plan. We maintain our Multipurpose Trails & Bikeway Corridor Plan to create a comprehensive system of on- and off-street bikeways that connect residential areas, businesses, schools, parks, and other key destination points. |
| M2-2 |
Bicycle System. We provide off-street multipurpose trails and Class II bikeways as our primary paths of travel and use the Class III for connectivity in constrained circumstances. |
| M2-3 |
Pedestrian Walkways. We require walkways that promote safe and convenient travel between residential areas, businesses, schools, parks, recreation areas, and other key destination points. (Link to Community Design CD3-1) |
| M2-4 |
Network Opportunities. We explore opportunities to expand the pedestrian and bicycle networks. This includes consideration of utility easements, levees, drainage corridors, road right-of-ways, medians and other potential options. | |
