project were established early on:

Vision and Goals

• Cycling is Safe
• Cycling is Connected
• Cycling is Understood
• Cycling is Desirable
• Cycling is

Implemented

• More People Cycling

Analysis

• Telephone survey
• Cycling demand analysis
• Cycling potential analysis
• Cycling collision analysis
• Community input maps

Student Feedback

• University of Lethbridge and

Lethbridge College students were engaged.

• Where do you bike?
• Share your ideas
• Provide feedback on goals and

vision

• What are your challenges?
• What are the benefits of

cycling?

Stakeholder & Community Engagement #1

• Presented and ranked Vision and

Goals

• Presented telephone survey

summary, collision map, and cycling analysis

• Community input maps

developed

• Presentation by North American

cycling expert

• Feedback collected

Desire Lines

• High level view of where

people want to get to and from

• Developed from

analysis and origin / destination maps

Opportunity Corridors

• Opportunity

Corridors represent where desire lines line up with actual streets

Stakeholder Engagement #2

• Shared opportunity corridors
• Discussion on the benefits,

trade-offs and constraints of various types of cycling infrastructure

• Discussed route selection

evaluation criteria

• Mapping exercise

Develop Draft Network

• A draft cycling network was developed for presentation at

Community Engagement #2

Community Engagement #2

• Presented draft network
• Asked for specific feedback on

infrastructure types, preferred routes and implementation preferences

Refined Draft Network

• Based on internal and

external feedback received to date

• Cycling infrastructure

types were selected based on a combination

• f public feedback and

best practices

• The network is ready for a

final review and comments

Implementation Strategy

• Each route was assessed

using the implementation criteria

Implementation Criteria

Cycling Demand and Generators

The existing and future ridership that could be anticipated and how the route serves key destinations

Cycling Potential

Ability of route to support high levels of cycling based

• n characteristics of the

natural and built environments

Network Connectivity

To what extent does the route contribute to filling a gap within the City’s cycling network

• Constructability

The feasibility of construction

• f routes and any potential
• pportunities there are in

existing/future plans or development opportunities

Cost

The high level anticipated capital cost for implementation

Community Acceptance

The anticipated level of acceptance of the community to the changes required in

• rder to implement the routes

Implementation Strategy

• Criteria used to determine which routes are proposed in

the short, mid and long terms.

Implementation Strategy

• Implementation criteria reflect the Goals of the project
