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.

College Avenue Evaluation

February 21, 2022 - February 28, 2022

College Avenue Evaluation Results

See the results of the evaluation of design options for College Avenue, including the preliminary preferred conceptual design, and provide comments or questions.

A hybrid approach has been identified as preferred for College Avenue, with Cycle Tracks from Janefield Road to Edinburgh Road, and Protected Bike Lanes from Edinburgh Road to Dundas Lane. This hybrid option optimizes cyclist comfort in the western portion of the corridor, where several elementary schools are located, while limiting construction complexity in the more constrained eastern portion of the corridor which includes the University of Guelph and numerous mature trees.
