Midtown 'AAA' Bikeway Connections

Yellow lines --> Midtown Bikeway routes for investigation. Blue lines --> Connections to other planned AAA bicycle routes
We are working to build more safe, comfortable and convenient cycling connections for people of all ages and abilities. The Midtown All-Ages-and-Abilities (AAA) Bikeway Connections project will bridge the gap between existing and future AAA bikeways and allow more people to get to where they are going by bicycle.
We want to hear from you about how we can make these streets great cycling routes for everyone. Municipal employees are hosting a workshop-style session where residents will have the opportunity to contribute ideas and shape the future of the Midtown AAA Bikeway Connections Project. We hope that you will join us!
PROJECT UPDATE MAY 1
The online survey is now closed. Fourty-seven survey responses were received, as well as 173 responses to the 'Quick Poll'.
The project team is working to compile the results into a 'What We Heard' report that will be posted here shortly. This feedback will be used to shape a set of concept designs for these bikeway connections through the heart of peninsular Halifax.
A second round of engagement will be held in the next few months with an opportunity to review and provide feedback on these concept designs. Stay tuned for more details!
PROJECT UPDATE APRIL 15
Thank you to everyone who was able to come out to our 2-hr workshop session last week! We hosted approx. 50 people who engaged in small group discussion around high-level bikeway design, preferred routing, and the relative value of various 'Complete Streets' elements. We have done our best to reflect these same conversations in online survey format. Please scroll to the bottom of the page to fill it out (**closed as of May 1).

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY 'ALL-AGES-AND-ABILITIES'?
By planning our new bicycle facilities for all-ages-and-abilities, we strive for them to be inclusive to anyone who wants to try bicycling. The routes are designed for ages 2 to 102, for new and seasoned riders alike. Comfort is a large factor in determining whether a facility is 'AAA'. Our goal is to build safe, convenient, high-comfort bicycle routes that everyone can use!
