Dear Community League Representative,
Construction is starting on new active transportation routes in your area
The City of Edmonton is expanding Edmonton's active transportation network to provide people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds more choice in how they move around. The Active Transportation Network Expansion Program focuses on filling in missing links in the existing active transportation network including new city-wide district connectors within the redeveloping areas of the city (within Anthony Henday Drive).
Construction of the 2024 routes began in spring 2024, with most locations now open for use. Construction of a few locations is being carried forward to the 2025 construction season. Construction of the 2025 routes is starting in the coming weeks. Planning and design for the 2026 active transportation network expansion is underway. To view the map of 2024, 2025 and 2026 routes, please visit edmonton.ca/ActiveTransportation.
Attached you will find a copy of the construction bulletin that is being sent to residents and businesses near the route. We have also included some program information below to help you answer questions you may receive from your community league members:
Active transportation matters. An expanded network will give Edmontonians access to routes that are safe, accessible and predictable.
Edmonton is growing and the way we move around our city will change. The expanded active transportation network makes Edmonton a more vibrant, active city. It offers more choices in how people move around the city, whether bicycling, walking, running or rolling.
Active transportation improves access for Edmontonians, offers travel options for commuters, reduces vehicle trips and traffic congestion for people that drive, and supports healthy minds and bodies. This makes Edmonton a more vibrant, active city, with different ways for everyone to get where they’re going.
The expansion program focuses on filling in missing links in the city’s active transportation network to improve access for Edmontonians. It offers safe travel options for commuters, reduces vehicle trips and traffic congestion, and supports healthy minds and bodies.
Once completed, Edmonton’s active transportation network will be a mix of city-wide and local neighbourhood routes. The new infrastructure will include protected bike lanes, shared pathways and local street bikeways.
A network of approximately 200 routes was originally identified based on the City’s Bike Plan and Bike Plan Implementation Guide.
Routes that will connect with the existing city network were prioritized for earlier work. These connections will make routes safer and easier to navigate.
The prioritization framework considers connectivity, ridership potential, feasibility, constructability, equity and safety. Routes were prioritized to best provide a connected, city-wide network with the available funding.
The active transportation network expansion designs were developed based on technical and safety requirements, City policies, The City Plan, targeted engagement where needed, and previous public engagement data collected during development of the Bike Plan.
For route details and more project information, please visit edmonton.ca/ActiveTransportation, or email the project team at ActiveTransportation@edmonton.ca.
Sincerely,
The Active Transportation Project Team
