A $2.2 million investment into Regina’s cycling infrastructure will add about 4.5 kilometres to the city’s cycling network in 2021.
The investment will include the addition of on-street bike lanes and multi-use pathways in a number of areas around the municipality.
Plans for on-street bike lanes will include phase one of the new east-west crosstown bike route on 13th Avenue between Forget Street and York Street, and 14th Avenue between Edward Street and Montague Street. Bike lanes will also be established on King Street between 15th Avenue and 14th Avenue, and McTavish Street between College Avenue and 14th Avenue.

The City of Regina is aiming to begin the first phase of a crosstown bike route this year.
On Wednesday, the city revealed the projects that are to be part of a $2.2-million investment in cycling infrastructure in 2021.
One of those projects is an east-west bike route that will connect various central neighbourhoods in the city with the downtown via on-street bike lanes and pathways. The five-year project was identified as a priority by city planners in 2018.
In 2021, construction is to begin on the first of four phases.
This year, bike lanes are to be built on 13th Avenue between Forget Street and York Street, 14th Avenue between Edward Street and Montague Street, King Street between 15th Avenue and 14th Avenue, and McTavish Street between College Avenue and 14th Avenue.
