North End and West End ‘AAA’ Bikeway Connections
The municipality is planning for the implementation of two new 'all ages and abilities' (AAA) bikeway connections on the Halifax peninsula:
North-end bikeway between Africville Lookoff Park and Cogswell Street
West-end bikeway between Windsor Street and West End Mall/Mumford Transit Terminal
UPDATE MARCH 2025
Halifax Regional Municipality is seeking feedback about IslevilleStreet at Almon Street and Young and Kaye Streets. These intersections currently have traffic diverters built using temporary infrastructure.The municipality is seeking public input before proceeding with changes including upgrading the existing diverters with concrete curb, landscaping, signs, pavement markings and other more permanent features.See here for details about each intersection’s current design and the proposed changes.
The term ‘AAA’ refers to bicycle facilities that are more comfortable, convenient and safe for people of ‘all ages and abilities’ (for example, for people who currently are uncomfortable bicycling on Halifax streets). ‘AAA’ bicycle facilities are crucial to attracting new riders to our cycling network.
For the most part, the connections are envisioned to be made by ‘local street bikeways’ where bikes and cars share the road on streets with low traffic volumes and speeds. Treatments to make the bikeways safer may include traffic calming, traffic diversion and treatments to facilitate the crossing of major streets. However, some parts of the proposed route may require protected bike lanes or multi-use pathways to make the connection. Some of the options being considered impact the amount of on-street parking and some of them do not.
The project will also apply a ‘complete streets’ approach to consider design features that benefit all road users, including people walking and taking transit.
The 'all ages and abilities' (AAA) North End-West End Bikeways project is aligned with recommendations from the Integrated Mobility Plan and the 2014-2019 Active Transportation Priorities Plan. Incorporation of ‘AAA’ bikeway facilities in the north end and west end of Halifax presents an opportunity to improve the core cycling network on the Halifax Peninsula for all users.
Project updates from 2018-2022 can be found in the 'Documents' tab to the right.

Thank you for participating in this survey about the West End Bikeways between Windsor Street and West End Mall/Mumford Transit Terminal. Your input is an important part of the design process.
Your survey responses will be used to help refine route options and design treatments. Recommendations will be submitted to Community Council and then to Regional Council for approval. Construction would be completed alongside road resurfacing in phases between 2019 and 2022.
The survey will remain open and email submissions accepted until 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 16, 2018.
For more information or questions about the event, please contact Siobhan Witherbee, Active Transportation Planner at withers@halifax.ca.
