The City of Westmount is developing its 2025 Bike Plan in collaboration with Vélo Québec. This plan will consolidate and improve Westmount’s cycling network. By offering a cycling network that allows residents to use their bikes to get to work, school and elsewhere, the City is promoting active mobility on its territory.
Project objectives:
- Provide a safe, connected and user-friendly network for all types of riders;
- Create a connected cycling network that encourages both utilitarian and recreational cycling;
- Increase bicycle use for short trips;
- Offer a coordinated vision with the Greater Montreal cycling network, and be eligible for subsidies for the development of cycling infrastructure;
- Promote and encourage the use of bicycles as an active and eco-responsible mode of transportation;
- Determine an implementation and deployment strategy;
- Develop a decision-making tool.
This project is part of a broader reflection that ties in with the City’s strategic orientations in terms of mobility and urban planning.
