Active Transportation Network Expansion

Main page content begins here

Family walking on shared use path with scooter and cyclist

An expanded active transportation network will provide safe, direct options for commuting to work or running errands, cycling to a local park, or accessing the river valley for recreational trips. Active transportation (walking, cycling and rolling) improves access, reduces vehicle trips and traffic congestion, and supports healthy minds and bodies.

Project Update - June 2025

Several routes were completed in 2024. Other routes that began construction in 2024 will continue construction this spring for completion in 2025.

Design for the 2025 active transportation network expansion routes is now complete. Construction is starting and the new routes are anticipated to be open for use by the end of the 2025 construction season (construction activities will be completed in 2025/2026).

Construction bulletins are being sent to residents and businesses near the upcoming construction. They will also be linked in the Active Transportation Network Expansion Program Routes table below.

Planning and design for the 2026 active transportation network expansion routes is underway.

Learn more about the routes planned as part of the Active Transportation Network Expansion

Program in the table below.

Guided by The Bike Plan and The Bike Plan Implementation Guide, the current active transportation network will be expanded over 2023 - 2026.

Active Transportation Network Expansion Program Overview

In December 2022, City Council approved accelerated implementation of an active transportation network.

The Active Transportation Network Expansion project focuses on completing missing links in the network, including:

City-wide connectors within the redeveloping areas of the city (inside Anthony Henday Drive)
Near-term priorities identified through the Bike Plan Implementation Guide
Neighbourhood routes within high bike trip potential areas

The infrastructure being installed as part of the 2024, 2025 and 2026 routes includes:

Shared Pathways

Paved, off-street paths that are shared by all active transportation users, including those who bike, walk, run, scoot, blade and more. Bikes are allowed to ride on shared pathways. Shared pathways are typically 2.5 metres or wider and are marked with signs that indicate they are to be shared by multiple types of users.

Local Street Bikeways

Streets where people who bike and people who drive share the street without separated bike infrastructure. Modifications include traffic calming and diversion elements to reduce vehicle volumes and speeds, maximizing the safety and comfort for people who bike to appeal to users of all ages and abilities. The bikeways typically include pavement markings and signage.

Protected Bike Lanes

On-street bike lanes protected from moving and parked vehicles by a physical barrier. Protected bike lanes may allow for travel in one or both directions.

Protected Contraflow Bike Lanes

On-street bike lanes that travel in the opposite direction as vehicles and are protected from moving and parked vehicles by a physical barrier.

Modal Filters

Traffic calming elements designed to allow active transportation users to travel through but require motorized vehicles to detour.

Improved wayfinding will also be installed as part of the network expansion. Learn more about the different types of active transportation infrastructure.

Benefits of the Network

In addition to providing a safe, comfortable and convenient option for people to walk, bike and roll, the active transportation infrastructure will:

Support the health and well-being of residents
Reduce traffic congestion
Provide a low-cost transportation option
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Support vibrant, urban places

Public Engagement

Planning and design for the active transportation network expansion draws on feedback gathered during public engagement for the City’s Bike Plan (2020) and The City Plan.

Focused public engagement opportunities are for more complex route connections, while less complex connections are being completed with targeted stakeholder or property owner engagement.

Expansion Costs

The 2023-2026 capital budget includes $100 million for the active transportation network expansion. It makes up 2% of the approximately $5 billion capital budget for transportation projects, including roads and bridges.

Prioritizing Routes

A network of routes was identified based on the Bike Plan and Bike Plan Implementation Guide and prioritized to confirm which connections will best provide a connected, city-wide network with the available funding.

Guided by the network principles in the Bike Plan, the prioritization considers connectivity, ridership potential, equity and safety.

Note: Some connections will be delivered as part of aligning capital projects.

Equity

Applying a GBA+ lens, social vulnerability information and feedback gathered from a diverse range of Edmontonians during the development of the Bike Plan was considered to prioritize routes in areas of the city where diverse populations may experience social, economic or physical barriers to mobility.

Ridership Potential and Connectivity

A data-driven analysis was conducted considering population and employment density and available active transportation routes to determine ridership potential and prioritize connections that are more likely to see cycling activity and increase connectivity.

Safety

Routes located on roadways that are part of the City’s High Injury network, where more crashes have historically occurred, were assigned a higher priority to improve the safety of people cycling.

Planning and Designing Routes

Following prioritization, routes were scheduled considering planning, design and public engagement needs. This stage of work included identifying facilities, assessing constraints and determining route complexity. Key considerations included:

Feedback gathered during public engagement for the Bike Plan and The City Plan
Opportunities to align with other city projects and programs
The rapid expansion of the network

The infrastructure for each active transportation route will be selected considering the function, design, speed and traffic volumes of the roadway, as well as constraints including utilities, trees, access and parking. When building active transportation routes, we are guided by the Complete Streets Design and Construction Standards and best practices with careful consideration given to designing for users of all ages and abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will the Active Transportation Network be connected to?

The Active Transportation Expansion project is intended to connect to existing routes, improving access and connectivity, and creating a more complete active transportation network. The routes include a mix of city-wide district connector routes that extend across multiple communities and neighbourhood routes that provide local connections.

Why aren’t all the routes protected?

Facilities are selected that meet design standards and best practices considering the characteristics of the roadway they are located on, including the speed and traffic volumes. Protected facilities are generally the preferred choice and are recommended for routes where higher motor vehicle speeds and volumes warrant physical separation to ensure the safety and comfort of people cycling.

There will also be local street bikeways (previously called shared streets) and painted lanes. The design guidelines for local street bikeways are being updated to include traffic calming elements and intersection improvements to improve safety and provide a comfortable user experience. Painted bike lanes are being considered for routes on local roadways with lower speeds and volumes that tie in to existing painted bike lanes.

Will the network be evaluated and monitored?

Since the project is being implemented in a rapid fashion, many connections will use adaptable infrastructure similar to the Downtown Bike Network. Evaluation and monitoring of the Active Transportation Network expansion will be ongoing and adjustments to adaptable infrastructure will be considered to ensure the network stays a safe and accessible transportation option. There will be an evaluation period of about 1 year to determine how the network is operating before any potential changes are considered.
