The Project to build a protected bike lane network for all abilities and ages has been a priority for the city of victoria since early 2017. Starting with the first protected bike lane on Pandora Avenue, and then on Fort Street last year. This year, the city is hoping to complete the five-point-four kilometre downtown minimum area, and in following years, branch out to Saanich. The intended outcome for the bike network is to find more ways to move people around and also make it safe and accessible. The city’s official community plan has estimated that sixty-percent of all trips will be made without a personal vehicle by 2041.
