CITY OF SAULT STE MARIE

*************************

The City of Sault Ste. Marie is committed to implementing a comprehensive network of bicycle routes across the community that link key points of interest, employment, recreation, and residential areas. Four of these routes are anticipated to be implemented this summer:

Pine Street – Queen Street to Northern Avenue

Queen Street – Sault Ste. Marie Golf Club to Dacey Road

Willow Avenue – McNabb Street to Northern Avenue

Willoughby Street/Wawanosh Avenue – Grandmont Crescent to Pine Street

City staff are hosting a public information session regarding bicycle routes:

Date: Thursday, May 2, 2019

Time: 4 – 7 p.m. (come-and-go)

Location: John Rhodes Community Centre, Room 2, Second Floor (260 Elizabeth St.)

The session will provide an opportunity to review and provide feedback on matters such as bicycle route dimensions, road conversions, on-street parking restrictions, signage, intersection configuration, and more. Join us as we continue to expand and connect the cycling network.

“This project is a starting point for retrofitting our road network to be more inclusive for cyclists, and is also part of an overall city effort to transform our streets and public spaces to make them safer and more inviting for all users of the road,” says Steve Turco, Senior Planner.

All are welcome to attend the public information session and share comments with City staff.
