Active Transportation Projects

Active Transportation Master Plan

​​​The Active Transportation Master Plan (ATMP) pro​vides the implementation framework for network plans, policies and programs that support the Brampton 2040 Vision. For additional information on Active Transportation in Brampton, including the many benefits of walking and cycling as a mode of transportation, please visit the City’s Cycling web page​.

Adding bicycle inf​rastructure in the City is also about building ‘Streets for People'. In any city, the street network is pervasive, and the character of streets sets the character of the whole city. Streets for People is about providing a safe and comfortable street experience regardless of how someone chooses to travel on it. 'Streets for People' is being delivered in a number of different ways. Learn more about the various cycling facilities​ that you may see throughout the City.

The 2022 Active Transportation Implementation program included 11​.9 km of "linear cycling infrastructure" (bike lanes, urban shoulders, multi-use paths and recreational trails/paths). Building on the success of last year, the City is implementing 30 km additional linear cycling infrastructure in 2023.

Streets for People
​​

The implementation of the recommended cycling network will be through the following programs:​

  • Fix-it Program – improvements/enhancements to existing facilities that will improve Brampton’s active transportation network within 10 years. It provides low-cost solutions (such as providing curb-cuts and proper crossings where trails meet roadways, wayfinding signage, etc.) that will yield noticeable improvements for users.
  • Infill Program – in addition to the cycling and trails projects to be delivered through a coordinated capital program, standalone, dedicated “infill” projects will also be needed in order to achieve the planned 2041 network. An analysis was completed as part of the ATMP to understand what parts of the City have the greatest cycling potential, and therefore the greatest need for new “infill” infrastructure.
  • Capital Program - opportunities to coordinate implementat​ion of cycling facilities are identified by comparing candidate cycling network routes against the City of Brampton’s capital works program for road projects. Incorporating cycling projects into existing road construction projects and the annual road resurfacing​ program is part of a ‘Complete Streets’ approach to designing and enhancing a road corridor for all users.

A number of active transportation projects are currently underway, planned or recently completed. Check out some of the projects below that support the Term of Council priority to be a Healthy and Safe City by creating ‘Streets for People’ and facilitating the transition from an auto-centric road network to one that supports multi-modal transportation.​​​

Mary Street between Guest Street and Wellington Street is being resurfaced this as a part of a regular maintenance cycle. Within the scope of the road resurfacing program,  cycling pavement markings called ‘ super sharrows’ are being installed along Wellington Street and Mary Street from James Street to Armstrong Street.

The proposed “super sharrows” will provide improved cyclist wayfinding for users of the popular Etobicoke Creek Trail. ​

​

Mill Street between Rosedale Avenue and Queen Street is being resurfaced as a part of a regular maintenance cycle. Within the scope of the road resurfacing program, cycling pavement markings called ‘sharrows’ are being installed. These markings will clearly identify Mill Street as a bicycle route.

​Mill Street sharrows will connect the Vodden Street bike lanes and Etobicoke Creek Trail, both major parts of the transit corridor expanding transit connections for the area will provide a local cycling connection to area schools, commercial land uses, places of worship, parks and the parkland trail system (Fletchers Creek and Etobicoke Creek Recreational Trails).

Rutherford Road between Kennedy Road and Williams Parkway is being resurfaced this as a part of a regular maintenance cycle. Within the scope of the road resurfacing program, bike lanes are being installed the corridor.

The proposed bike lanes along Rutherford Road will provide a local cycling connection to area schools, commercial land uses, parks, parkland trail system and the existing cycling facilities along Centre Street and Rutherford Road (south of Williams).


Sterritt Drive between Chinguacousy Road and Lockwood Road is being resurfaced this as a part of a regular maintenance cycle. Within the scope of the road resurfacing program, bike lanes are being installed along Sterritt from Chinguacousy Road to Drinkwater Road

The proposed bike lanes along Sterritt Drive will provide a local cycling connection to area schools, commercial land uses, parks, parkland trail system and the existing cycling facilities along Drinkwater Road and Bonnie Braes Drive.
