The projects are proposed as neighbourhood bikeways, rather than protected bike lanes, and will involve mostly pavement markings and signs
Oak Bay council, which has been criticized by cyclists for lack of bike lanes in the municipality, has agreed to move to a design phase for east-west and north-south bikeways.
Council voted unanimously Monday to direct staff to start working on detailed design of a bikeway connecting Oak Bay Avenue to bike lanes on a northern section of Henderson Road near the University of Victoria, and a Haultain-Estevan bikeway from an existing route on Haultain/Kings to the north side of Willows Beach.The design will focus on changes to help cyclists safely cross some of the busier intersections, such as Henderson and Lansdowne, Haultain and Foul Bay, and Haultain and Eastdowne.
“There was no debate here about, you know, should we have bike infrastructure. That wasn’t the conversation,” he said.
