CITY TO INSTALL BIKE LANE ALONG INVERNESS

KEVIN WERNER kwerner@hamiltonnews.com

Hamilton staff are scheduling to install a 1.2-kilometre bike lane along Inverness Avenue on the Mountain that will connect the existing Keddy Access Trail to the on-street cycling route on Queensdale Avenue by the end of 2023.

Danny Pimentel, project manager for active transportation, told the March 1 cycling advisory committee that work is expected to begin later this year and will include painting lines on Inverness, creating a bike boulevard and installing way-finding signage and pavement markings. He said there are no plans for any capital works for Inverness since the road is in "really good condition."

The bike lane will begin at Queensdale Avenue East and Upper Wellington, before heading north on East Eighth Street and continuing west along Inverness to Tanner Street, where it will link up with Southam Park. The bike lane will connect with the existing bike lane on Queensdale. A future bike lane is projected along Queensdale, from Upper Wellington to Upper Ottawa Street, under the city's cycling masterplan.
