Active Transportation Committee Update - 14 Dec 2020

Did you know that the Town of Cochrane commissioned a Bicycle Plan back in 2012 with strong recommendations to guide our town’s development towards being a better community for active transportation? This document, along with many, many hours of research into cycling infrastructure is what has been guiding Bike Cochrane’s Active Transportation Committee’s prioritized projects.

It is with these researched proposals, informed with cycling and pedestrian data, that Bike Cochrane will advocate for improvements in our town’s pathway network. Are you interested in being involved in this research and advocacy to improve your ability to bike your kids to school, or bike to work?

We will be presenting to Town Council on 25 Jan 2021 with our first priority project to begin seeking alignment and funding support. We plan to do active traffic studies this summer to supplement the data sets we’ve been gathering already. We have just launched our first survey of Bike Cochrane’s membership and will be fanning that out to the community to solicit further engagement and feedback.
