Cycling Network Study

Help create a connected cycling network for riders of all ages and abilities

Project Update

The Protected Cycling Network Study, concluded in April 2023, has developed conceptual designs for 8.8 kilometres of protected cycling infrastructure along three corridors (see map):

Eramosa Road between Woolwich Street to Victoria Road (Study Area A)

Gordon Street between Waterloo Avenue to Clair Road (Study Area B)

College Avenue between Janefield Avenue to Dundas Lane (Study Area C).

An Information Report was published on March 31st, 2023 to provide a summary of the Protected Cycling Network Study, and inform members of Council and the public of the next steps planned for the implementation of protected cycling facilities. The Protected Cycling Network Study report begins on page 76.

Detailed study reports for each corridor are posted on the project page at guelph.ca/cyclingnetwork

 

Next Steps

The College Avenue protected cycling facilities will be the first of the three road corridors to move forward, with detailed design in 2023 and construction expected in 2024-2025.

The Gordon Street and Eramosa Road protected cycling facilities will proceed to detailed design and construction, subject to funding and approvals.

Please note: This project began in an older version of our website. Some of the tools and information may appear different than originally designed.

AAA Pre-Screening

View a summary of the pre-screening that was completed to eliminate design options that do not meet AAA cycling facility design requirements.

The design options were pre-screened to evaluate their alignment with AAA design requirements. For all three study corridors, the “do nothing” option was screened out. Options 1 and 3 scored the highest in terms of meeting the goals of AAA facilities as they provide separate spaces for riders and pedestrians and riders travel in the same direction as vehicles, improving safety at intersections. 

A summary of the AAA pre-screening is provided below. Letter grades of A, B, C, D, and F are provided to indicate the level of preference for each of the alternatives, with A being most preferred and F being least preferred.
