Active Transportation Plan- Cycling Q&A Session
*We Want to Hear from You!*
City staff are in the process of identifying missing links in our Active Transportation Network and are planning the work to be done over the next 10 years. I have been asked to prioritize some of the missing links in our cycling network and I’d like to hear from you!
If there is an area within the ward that you feel doesn’t have a proper cycling connection, or if there is a missing link as you cycle to work, please let me know.
Comments and suggestions can be sent to Ward23Events@gmail.com and we will collect all comments until May 1st, 2021.
Along with my west end colleagues, we will be hosting a Cycling Q&A Session via Zoom on the cycling missing links described above. This session with Councillors Sudds, Gower and El-Chantiry and of course myself, Councillor Allan Hubley, will be held on Tuesday May 11th from 6:30-8pm. The session will also include city planners who will be answering some of the comments/questions that you’ve sent in, and will be discussing some of the missing links that are on the list for completion in the coming years.
Below is a map of the Cycling Network in Kanata South, with the purple lines showing existing cycling facilities and the red lines showing in-progress cycling facilities that are projects currently underway or starting soon. As this map is a little difficult to see, please visit my website Cycling - Councillor Allan Hubley to view maps of the current cycling facility in Kanata South as well as a map that illustrates where users have already dropped a ‘pin’ to identify missing links.
The Zoom link will be sent out to all residents who have emailed into the Ward23Events@gmail.com email and can also be found on my website CouncillorAllanHubley.ca once available.
Thank you in advance for your input and I look forward to seeing you all on May 11th for the Cycling Q&A Session.

Missing link Mapping
Cycling facilities and multi-use pathways
Rules of the pathwaysBicycles are permitted on mixed-use pathways, but cyclists should follow these guidelines:
- Keep to the right of the yellow centre line (where one exists)
- Pass other users only when it is safe to do so
- Use your bell or voice to warn others when you are passing e.g., "Passing on your left!"
- Ride at a suitable speed for a mixed-use pathway (recommended speed of no more than 20 km/hr)
- Be cautious at night, especially along pathways that are not lit. Ride more slowly, especially around dark curves, and stay visible by dressing brightly and using bicycle lights.
Bike Parking Strategy
The Bike Parking Strategy
Our City has undergone a number of transportation changes in recent years. One of the biggest changes we have seen is an increased interest in cycling and ensuring our communities are well set-up to support an increase in riders who are travelling by bike for work, leisure and errands. Those who travel by bike are not only looking for safe spaces to cycle, but also to park their bikes while out.
The City is undertaking a Bike Parking Strategy to better understand and address the needs of cyclists who must leave their bike while working or visiting one of our City’s businesses. This will build on the work done on the 2019 Municipal Parking Management Strategy and will result in a final report to Transportation Committee and Council in early 2021. Undertaking a Bike Parking Strategy will allow us to study:
What is Happening?
Over the coming months, we will be engaging with residents and key stakeholders about Ottawa’s Bike Parking Strategy. Through consultations, public virtual meetings, stakeholder meetings and an online survey, we will be seeking input on our Bike Parking Strategy.
Our goals for the strategy are:

Over the coming months, we will be engaging with residents and key stakeholders about Ottawa’s Bike Parking Strategy. Through consultations, public virtual meetings, stakeholder meetings and an online survey, we will be seeking input on our Bike Parking Strategy.
Our goals for the strategy are:
- Developing criteria for the location of bike parking;
- Developing criteria for the type of bike parking;
- Developing criteria / warrants for determining when bike parking should be installed;
- Creating data collection methodologies; and
- Defining operational requirements and roles related to the installation and maintenance of bike parking.
