The Government of Canada, Government of Ontario, and the City of London will invest 24.5 million five active transportation-related projects that will support a more sustainable and connected community.
Announced by Parliamentary Secretary Peter Fragiskatos, MP Arielle Kayabaga, and Mayor Josh Morgan, these projects will contribute to making the city more walkable and active by adding more routes for cyclists and pedestrians, adapting streetscapes to make sharing them easier, and constructing and installing more infrastructure needed to support walking, riding, and rolling. Once complete, all five projects will help make walking or riding a bike in London faster, safer, and easier.
Modes of active transportation are sustainable, convenient, and affordable choices. Integrating networks of paths, sidewalks, trails and cycle lanes in communities means people can get from here to there, while saving money, staying healthy, and reducing traffic congestion, noise, and pollution.
