Shared Use Paths 2023

NEW: Consultation re: Penney Crescent has concluded and an update is available

The City is building a comprehensive active transportation network that gets people where they want to go safely.

For 2023, public engagement is open for three shared use path projects:

• an upgrade and extension from Airport Heights/Majors Path to the Paul Reynolds Community Centre on Carrick Dr. via Penney Crescent ( an updated map following from the consultation in June is available)
• a new shared-use path connection along Columbus Drive from Canada Drive, across Waterford Bridge Road to connect to the T’railway in Bowring Park, and
• a shared-use path from Portugal Cove Rd. to Logy Bay Rd via MacDonald Dr. and Tupper/Laurier Parks

Each of these projects is early in the design phase and there is opportunity to inform the alignment of the trails as well as amenities and signage along the routes.

Where possible, the city is including design and construction work within other roads and rehabilitation projects. This allows us to reduce overall costs and avoid future tear up. It also taps into existing federal and provincial cost-sharing funds to further reduce the overall costs to the city.

The vision of the City's Bike Plan, approved in 2019, is to create a safe, inclusive, and convenient cycling network that is well-connected, attractive and reflective of the City’s unique topography and climate. These paths also improve active transportation for all users.

Construction and design of shared-use paths is identified in the Our City, Our Future Strategic Plan to expand and maintain a safe and accessible active transportation network.
