Cycling is one of the cleanest and most energy efficient forms of transportation and the number of people choosing to cycle continues to grow every year.
Much of this growth comes from our support for green transportation initiatives to make cycling and walking more safe, convenient, and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.
Expanding the bike route network is an important strategy in our effort to reduce traffic congestion to become more sustainable.

Skateboard in protected bike lanes
In November 2017, Council approved that skates, skateboards, and push-scooters be permitted in protected bike lanes.
Protected bike lanes are physically separated from motor vehicle traffic by barriers such as concrete medians, planters, and vehicle parking lanes. Before this pilot, skateboarding was only allowed on local streets (without painted lane lines).
