The City of Burlington is installing new bicycle facilities on Plains Road from Spring Gardens Road to Waterdown Road. With the use of protected intersections and cycle tracks, the City will create an environment for safer cycling. A paved bike path on the north side boulevard of Plains Road West will be created. A protected on-road bike lane will be installed on the south side of Plains Road.
Protected bike intersections will also be installed – a first of its kind in Burlington. These intersections are designed to increase physical separation from motor vehicles, improve sightlines, reduce the likelihood of highspeed vehicle turns and significantly reduce the distance and time during which cyclists are at higher risks of an accident with a vehicle.
