City of Kitchener, Ontario: Downtown Cycling Grid
Kitchener’s Downtown Cycling Grid is transforming how people move around the city. Ten kilometres of new and upgraded infrastructure connect major destinations, trails and transit, and represent a complete and cohesive All Ages and Abilities network. Consultation with 5,700 residents and community stakeholders for the city’s 2020 Cycling and Trails Master Plan confirmed the need to prioritize active connections in the downtown, and helped identify the location and design of new facilities. City staff co-led the design process, and their intensive involvement ensured that the results met local needs. The construction process, which included installation of two new protected intersections, began in 2021 and was substantially completed in 2024. The grid is maintained and used year-round, and saw a 164% increase in cycling even when it was only 70% complete.
