Cycling Lanes Added to Thunder Bay Street
With the city creating bike lanes on Court Street, it’s safe to say that Thunder Bay is now becoming a bike friendly community.
Things are not quite %100 though, as city staff are still busy dealing with the finishing touches, with symbols and signs still being put up and painted. Court Street is ready for bikes though, as it now comes equipped with a parking lane on the left, followed by a cycling lane, 2 car lanes, and one more cycling lane at the right. According to Adam Krupper, Thunder Bay’s transportation representative, the project is the first of more developments to come.
He says that the big goal is to set up cycling lanes going from north to south, east to west, giving people a safe avenue to walk, skate, bike, rollerblade, and drive. This gives Thunder Bay an active and dynamic transportation network that puts safety and convenience for the community at the forefront.
Krupper points out that numerous residents have long wanted the city to add cycling lanes to Thunder Bay’s streets and roads. In a city that has a large number of people who bike to and from work and wherever they go, having cycling lanes gives them a sense of security on the road, he said.
