Continuation
of existing bike lanes. |
Completed |
Project
to add 1.5 m. wide cycling lanes to connect with existing lanes to south,
opportunity for road resurfacing and sidewalk programs to absorb cost. Completion September 2002. Steep grades necessitated a discontinuity
of bike lane between Swan's Way North
and Briarcliffe (see Blair Road #5) |

high in this area. |
Completed |
Part
of a larger plan to raise the profile of the Kanata North Business Park's
image. Cycling budget from former
Kanata ($38k) is only a small part of project. Built in 2002 for joggers and pedestrians; however intent is
for cyclists to remain on-road. |

Bike
lanes on Bank Street over railroad bridge. |
Current |
Although
there is sufficient width to permit bike lanes, there are structural
modifications required that could cost 100s of $k. Further investigation is required. It was found that with narrowed traffic lanes enough space
remains to provide 1.4 m. spaces.
Edge lines were removed in April 2002. Monitor. Usetrs have
indicated a preference to return the edge lines. |

the detriment of cyclists. |
Current |
Bike
lane painted on existing road surface to left of right turn lane. Hatching added to sections of right turn
lane to reduce motorist through movements, to be monitored and potentially
replaced by physical curb extensions.
Survey on July 30, 2002 indicated lane is working reasonable well (70%
of sb cyclists used lane) |
