Background
Ultimate AAA Design for Seventh Avenue
The City is working toward creating All Ages and Abilities (AAA) cycling facilities for people to travel through a complete, connected network.
Building on the interim improvements completed in 2017 and feedback received at upcoming events, the City will be delivering an ultimate design for the Fifth Street to Eighth Street segment of the Rotary Crosstown Greenway. The design will include protected cycling facilities, intersection enhancements, and improvements for pedestrians such as plantings, benches and lighting. Construction the ultimate design would be coordinated with future utilities and road work along this segment of Seventh Avenue.
Interim Improvements (2017)
Greenway
The objective of the Greenway is to enhance the walking and cycling experience for people of all ages and abilities (from children to seniors) throughout the city. The Greenway builds on the increasingly cohesive cycling network that exists within the city and the region which improves connections for recreational, educational, work and commercial purposes.
For more information on the City’s cycling facilities, have a look at p.65 of our Master Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP provides staff and the community with the direction the City is taking with regards to transportation.
