Lake-to-Lake Bike Route Construction

Consultation on the final section of the Lake-to-Lake Route is planned for May 2023, with details to be announced soon on shapeyourcitypenticton.ca

The Lake-to-Lake Route is a 6.7 km protected bike lane through the centre of the city intended to make cycling convenient and safe for residents of all ages and abilities. The route was identified following a two-year consultation process. Currently, 3.8 km of the route is complete and 650 metres will be completed in 2023 as part of the Point Intersection project. The final section is planned to commence later in 2023 and is subject to budget approval.

The complete route is estimated to cost up to $8 million. This estimate includes all costs associated with the separated bike lanes, intersection and sidewalk improvements, as well as storm system alterations along the route. To date, the City has received $1 million from the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP), $750,000 from the Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF), $500,000 from a B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant, and used $1.2 million from the Canada Community-Building Fund to offset the costs of the project. This brings the total provincial and federal funding received for the project to $3.45 million and the City continues to apply for applicable grants as they become available.  

Once complete, the route will be the spine in the City’s cycling network and a key part of the City’s shift to a complete transportation system that supports all modes of transportation, helps meet environmental objectives and uses infrastructure wisely.
