State of Cycling
A macro view of the state of cycling in MR-PM
Key challenges – geography (lack of east west routes, east MR terrain), constantly increasing traffic volume
Various maps of bike routes – Translink region map, informal routes, etc.
Key areas of interest – 5-km radius centering downtown, transit corridor, east MR, east-west corridor, etc.
Our vision for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows – Bike to school, safe routes within densifying downtown MR, etc.
