The City of Thunder Bay is officially opening the bike lanes.
Effective tomorrow, Friday May 20th, the small section of roads across the city have been cleared of sand and dirt accumulated over the winter months. There are parking restrictions in place and there will be signage posted.
After delays due to weather and debris build-up from the prolonged winter, City of Thunder Bay’s bike lanes will be opening on Friday, May 20.
Bike lanes will remain open until November 15, if weather permits. Restrictions to on-street parking in designated bike lanes will be enforced during this period – check signage in your area.
Don’t forget to give extra room to cyclists; it’s recommended when passing a bike to allow for one metre (approximately three feet) between the vehicle and the rider.
Active transportation is a great activity as it helps build a healthy, vibrant and equitable community. Benefits can range from increasing personal fitness and wellness, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing household transportation costs.
