Report on Bikeway Concept Designs

Bicycle Route to School and Bay-to-Bay Trail Connection

The Blue Route Hubs Bikeway Project is a collaboration between Bicycle Nova Scotia (BNS) and several communities in Lunenburg County, including the Town of Mahone Bay. The project is intended to help communities evaluate their potential to develop bicycle routes that make residents of all ages and abilities feel comfortable cycling in their community and encourage active transportation.

The Project began in October of 2018 with the identification of possible bicycle routes. From January of 2019 to June of 2019 Bicycle NS staff worked with a local stakeholder committee including community and Town staff representatives, refining routes including routes from residential areas of town to Bayview School. Following on the work of the stakeholder committee Bicycle NS has compiled a final report on Bikeway Concept Designs, which can be found below.

This report was presented to the Mahone Bay Town Council on October 8, 2019 and will be used to inform the development of a comprehensive transportation plan for Mahone Bay later this year (stay tuned for public participation opportunities).
