‘This shows we're just not talking the talk. We're also walking the walk, biking the bike, rolling the wheels in the right direction,’ said mayor Paul Lefebvre.
The federal government has pledged more than $3.3 million to support a couple of bicycle-related infrastructure projects in the central core area of Sudbury.
"The network of bike routes, trails and footbridges provide convenient and equitable ways for residents of all ages and abilities to get around their communities and beyond. And that means benefiting the environment and everyone," Lapointe said. While the bulk of the funding will be spent on actually creating new bicycle lanes, a smaller funding grant would be used for signage and wayfinding improvements.Mayor Paul Lefebvre said he was pleased with the announcement.
Lefebvre talked about his own experiences many years ago when he would ride his bike to work along Paris Street. He said riding past the old general hospital could be challenging and not as safe as he would like. "The project will help make it easier for residents of all ages and abilities to navigate the streets and trails available throughout the city," said the release.
