1. I don't think so on roadways larger than a local collector.
2. The new complete street guides have brand new right of ways for all road types. You can see that local primary collectors will have a 2m width bike lane in both directions
You're right, Metis has plenty of space to accommodate a bike corridor.

- When the City decides to build or upgrade a road in a suburban location, is the identification of corridors that could support segregated cycle lanes part of the standard design process?
In regards to the second question, I think Sky View Ranch and Metis Trail are good examples. The eventual completion of the twinning of Metis Trail could provide an excellent opportunity to create a cycle corridor that could be used by a variety of users (e.g. commuters and shoppers). Further, if the collector streets in Sky View Ranch were built with either protected or unprotected cycle lanes, the Metis Trail cycle corridor could easily have been fed by the collection network in Sky View Ranch. |
