Province Investing $295,000 in Cycling Infrastructure for Hamilton
(Ministry of Transportation, Apr 19 2016)

Ontario is providing $295,000 to the City of Hamilton over the next two years to help build new cycling infrastructure through the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program.

The City of Hamilton will receive $295,000 to build a new 2.3 kilometre cycling route that includes painted bike lanes, physically separated bike lanes and a bike path alongside the road. This combination of infrastructure will create a safe cycling route. The new route will connect a densely populated neighbourhood to the city core and to waterfront recreational areas. It will also connect to GO and Hamilton transit services, as well as to the future light rail transit (LRT) line which will offer rapid, reliable and convenient service. This will provide residents with new options to combine modes of travel for their daily trips.
