In the spring of 2026, we’re planning to build temporary bike lanes on Wellington Crescent, between Academy Road (south of Maryland Bridge) and Stradbrook Avenue.

This project is about making Wellington Crescent safer and more comfortable for people walking and biking. It will also fill an important gap in our cycling network.

The design for the temporary bike lanes includes some changes to driving lanes, parking, and traffic flow. We know change can bring questions and concerns. That’s why we’re asking people who live along the route to tell us how our design for the temporary bike lanes might affect them. We’re especially interested in things like loading, deliveries, accessibility, building access, and safety.

Your input will help us make the temporary bike lanes work as best they can for everyone.

These temporary bike lanes are not a long-term solution. We’re planning a study to look at permanent bike lanes for Wellington Crescent in the future. Right now, we’re focused on this temporary project and want to hear how the design will affect you.

    What we heard

    Late last year you shared feedback about how a temporary bike lane on Wellington Crescent would affect you. We heard that:

    • Right now, cycling feels unsafe. Driving feels safe. Walking feels safe for some and unsafe for others.
    • People use Wellington Crescent in many different ways.
    • If we add a temporary bike lane, most cyclists think it would be a good change.
    • Residents on this section of Wellington Crescent are divided. Some think it would improve their experience. Others think it would make it worse.
    • There is strong support for a permanent solution.

    Next steps

    An administrative report will be presented to the Standing Policy Committee on Public Works on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. The report recommends approving the updated interim bike lane design and lowering speeds to 40 km/h.

    The meeting will also be streamed live on the City’s YouTube channel.
