Thank you for your input. The University Ave protected bike lane pilot project was approved by Regional Council in 2015 and implemented in August 2016. It will remain in place until August 2018. Data collection and further study will determine if the pilot becomes a permanent piece of infrastructure.

Halifax Regional Municipality and Dalhousie University are developing a pilot project to install and study protected bike lanes along the north and south sides of University Avenue from Robie Street to LeMarchant Street.

This is a valuable exercise to inform active transportation initiatives in the community and the first step in implementing Dalhousie's vision for the renewal of University Avenue.

The goal of this pilot project is to test best practices in cycling infrastructure, demonstrate the enhanced safety of a separated bike lane, and encourage increased ridership for cyclists of all ages and abilities.
