New Neighbourhood Bikeways Coming to Waterloo Streets
Official title: Neighbourhood Bikeways
The City of Waterloo is expanding its network of neighbourhood bikeways - cycling routes on quieter residential streets. Starting in 2025, selected streets will get wayfinding signs and bike symbols painted on the road. Some streets may also get traffic calming measures to slow cars down.
Why This Matters
Bike to work or school in Waterloo? These routes could make your commute safer and more direct. Live on a street getting a bikeway? You'll see new signs and road markings, but your driveway and parking won't be affected.
What Could Change
New bike route signs and painted symbols will appear on selected neighbourhood streets over the next few years. Some streets may get traffic calming features to reduce vehicle speeds. The rollout depends on available budget each year.
