Cycling Network Implementation

Description

Cycling network connectivity can increase the cycling mode share and supports a seamless transportation network.
Where applicable, ensuring that the cycling network is connected through and/or around proposed developments facilitates easier access for cyclists between the site and key destinations.

Review the existing and planned local and regional cycling network and provide links to desirable network connections.
Distribute cycling connections evenly throughout blocks and local streets that are open to the public and facilitate active travel.
Where public sidewalks and multi-use pathways intersect with roads, provide traffic control devices to give priority to pedestrians and cyclists.
Explore opportunities to provide additional pedestrian and cycling facilities beyond the minimum requirements.
Design roads designated as part of the cycling network to have a target operating speed of no more than 40 km/hr or provide a separated cycling facility.

The applicant shall submit a site plan, site plan drawing, concept plan, engineering submission, or other applicable document that shows the location, design, and dimensions of existing and proposed active transportation infrastructure throughout the site and on the public road network.
The applicant shall submit a pedestrian and bicycle circulation plan, and provide enhancements where gaps are identified.
City of Vaughan staff shall review the proposed infrastructure and provide a recommendation for either approval or modifications to meet City requirements.
