麻豆精选鈥檚 first neighbourhood bikeway is coming to Rutland and the city is looking for input to help plan the route.
While neighbourhood bikeways are new to 麻豆精选, they are used successfully in many communities across North America. Bikeways are typically located on quiet residential streets where people biking and driving can safely share the road.
鈥淭he Rutland Neighbourhood Bikeway will extend 麻豆精选鈥檚 all ages and abilities bike network from the Houghton Active Transportation Corridor into new neighbourhoods,鈥� said Jennifer Hostland, transportation planner. 鈥淭he neighbourhood bikeway will also connect people biking to schools and key destinations at Rutland Recreation Park.鈥�
The bikeway is proposed between Mugford and Klassen roads, through Rutland Recreation Park and along Friesen Road.
It was selected following the city-wide Neighbourhood Bikeways Study, where 81 per cent of survey respondents said they were very supportive of neighbourhood bikeways.
Residents can complete the survey or leave a pin on the interactive map before Oct. 29 by visiting the City of 麻豆精选 website.
