The City recently dedicated $7.75 million over five years for new protected bike lanes for cyclists of all ages and abilities and we’ve heard that the community has said they would like to see bike lanes connecting to downtown and physically separated bike lanes on busy roads.

One of the first major projects the City is undertaking as part of the new cycling network is introducing a protected bike lane running east and west through downtown.
The City of Victoria is considering two options – a two- way, physically protected bike lane on Pandora Avenue paired with a painted bike lane on Johnson Street or a set of one-way physically protected bike lanes with one on Pandora Avenue, and one on Johnson Street. We are seeking feedback from the community on opportunities, concerns and preferred types of separation for both options.
The public is also invited to an open house with a "pop up bike lane" designed to simulate the feel of cycling in a protected bike lane on May 26, from noon - 7 p.m. in front of City Hall (Pandora entrance)
