Cycle Edmonton: The Bicycle Transportation Plan, which will be presented to council’s transportation and public works committee on March 3, is the first major update addressing cycling in the city since 1992.

The plan proposes spending $100 million over the next decade to create a comprehensive city-wide network of multiuse trails and bike lanes linked by neighbourhood connector systems. The plan envisions adding 489 kilometres of bikeways to the existing network and calls for an expansion of end-of-trip facilities for cycling, increased integration with transit and improved signage along bike routes.
