During the May 29, 2019 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council was presented with the new Bike St. John's Master Plan for discussion and review. The plan articulates a vision for the future of cycling in St. John’s; provides an action plan and roadmap to achieve the vision; and, highlights a backbone cycling network that prioritizes three catalyst projects for early implementation.
The plan is the result of a collaborative process where a consultant team worked with City staff, the Bike St. John’s Advisory Committee, and included feedback from over 1,000 members of the public.
It is expected that infrastructure will be implemented over many years as opportunities arise and funding is allocated. City Council will vote for final approval of the proposed plan at a future council meeting.
