Implemented Cycling Infrastructure 2014 - 2016
In consultation with the Kitchener Cycling and Trails Advisory Committee, a priority
bikeway network implementation strategy was developed in January 2014 which
identified roadways that cycling infrastructure would be implemented on over a five year
period as identified through the Cycling Master Plan (CMP). Appendix A - Implemented
Cycling Infrastructure 2015-2016, provides a comprehensive update on infrastructure
that was implemented on-road since 2014. It should be noted that some of the
infrastructure installed was not identified within the priority network, however was
installed as a result of identified opportunity.
Table 1 provides a summary of the 22 roadways which saw cycling infrastructure
implemented in 2015 and 2016.

Appendix B - Proposed Cycling Infrastructure 2017-2018, provides a listing of roadways
that are planned for the installation of cycling infrastructure. Some of the roadways
identified in Appendix B, may have reviews that start in 2018 but may not see any
measures installed until a later date. Table 2 provides a summary of the 34 roadways
which are proposed for cycling infrastructure over the next two (2) years.

Proposed Cycling Infrastructure Beyond 2018
Appendix C - Proposed Cycling Infrastructure Beyond 2018 provides a listing of
roadways that are planned for the installation of cycling infrastructure beyond 2018.
While some of the roadways identified in Appendix C may have reviews that begin in
2018, they will not see infrastructure implemented immediately. Table 3 provides a
summary of the seven (7) roadways which are proposed for cycling infrastructure
beyond 2018.
The proposed cycling infrastructure for 2017-2018 and for 2018 and beyond are
carryovers from the priority bikeway network implementation strategy identified in
Report No. 14-002 (Cycling Master Plan Update).

Cycling Master Plan
Transportation Services has earmarked 2018-2019 as the proposed timeline for an
update to the Cycling Master Plan. Transportation Services staff and Operations staff
have discussed the potential of incorporating both the Cycling Master Plan and Trails
Master Plan into one (1) document at the time of the update. By incorporating both
master plans, it is anticipated that it will allow for a more collaborative approach,
ensuring a connected network.
Prior to the update of the Cycling Master Plan, Transportation Services will be
formalizing a Complete Streets Policy in 2017. This Complete Streets Policy will be
incorporated into the future update of the master plans.
BikeKitchener Events and Programming - 2015
education, promotion and outreach to foster a sustainable cycling culture among
Kitchener residents of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. BikeKitchener is a
community resource that provides information on safety tips, popular cycling routes,
promotional events, and upcoming infrastructure projects.
In 2015 BikeKitchener retained The Working Center/Community Access Bikeshare to
execute the promotion and marketing of BikeKitchener through various events over a
five month period. Over that time, BikeKitchener participated in over 23 events including
large scale community festivals and community bike rides. Below is a listing of events in
2015 where a BikeKitchener booth was established and included free bike tune-ups or
14 - 3
safety check overs and distribution of bike maps, educational resources, bells, lights,
stickers and water bottles:
Stanley Park Bike Safety Fun Day
Bikefest - City Hall
Neighbours Day @ Rockway Community Center
Summerlights - King St
Canada Day - Carl Zehr Square
Big Music Fest
Bluesfest - King St
Kidspark - Victoria Park
Bike Back to School Day
Word on the Street - King St
BikeKitchener also hosted a number of bike rides throughout the City. Cyclists were
provided with complimentary bells, light, water bottles and/or bike maps at each ride.
Below is a listing of bike rides hosted exclusively by BikeKitchener in 2015:
KPL Aboriginal History Tour: The Wintering Grounds
Neighbours Day Events Bike Tour
Glow Ride @ Summerlights
KPL Aboriginal History Tour: Up the Mississauga Road
Wom
Story Ride with Janice Lee
Ride and Seek
With the help and partnership of the Working Center/Community Access Bikeshare,
BikeKitchener was able to interact with over 2700 people at various events throughout
the summer. This included direct conversations with visitors to the BikeKitchener booth
and cyclists who took part in bike rides. Residents were given a variety of educational
material, safety accessories and City of Kitchener bike maps.
Promotion of BikeKitchener initiatives and events was conducted in a variety of
channels, including:
Educational Materials: estimated over 5000 copies were distributed;
o Share & Be Aware brochures
o Safety Checklist brochures
o Guide to Fixing a Flat brochures
o
o Cycling Skills Handbook -
Ministry of Transportation (MTO))
o Young Cyclists Guide Handbook (from MTO)
14 - 4
Print Materials: over 15 unique posters, postcards and flyers were created and
distributed to local businesses within the Downtown core as well as to
Community Centers, arenas and libraries
Event Participation: bike rides saw over 200 cyclists participate in rides.
Approximately 2500 people also visited the BikeKitchener booth
Media Outreach: 40 BikeKitchener tweets, two interviews with local community
news outlet, numerous emails through the Community Access Bikeshare group
Services/Giveaways: provided free bike tune ups at four events, and gave away
eight bicycles and hundreds of bells, lights, stickers, water bottles and bike maps
BikeKitchener Events and Programming - 2016
Inan effort to be more involved in the grass roots programming and cycling promotion,
BikeKitchener retained a co-op student in the field of Communications and Marketing, to
assist with delivering the BikeKitchener programming in 2016.In addition to an
increased focus on event attendance and general awareness, BikeKitchener decided to
offer a new service for 2016, called Bikecheck.
Bikecheck is a free bike parking valet service that is located at events to allow cyclists to
safely, securely and confidently park their bike while attending the events. The service
is staffed and is securely located within a fenced off area, allowing cyclists to leave
other belongings (i.e. helmets, bags etc.) with their bike. While this service was meant
to facilitate bikes, other modes of active transportation (i.e. unicycle) were also
accommodated whenever possible
Figure 1 - Bikecheck Setup for Ribfest at Victoria Park

The provision of Bikecheck at events afforded BikeKitchener a unique way to interact
with both cyclists who decided to ride to the event as well as non-cyclists who often
inquired about the service.
On the following page, Table 4 - Bikecheck Result provides a summary of the events
BikeKitchener attended and offered the Bikecheck service, along with the number of
bikes that were parked:

Kidspark74
Total Bikes Parked1,283
The biggest challenge for the Bikecheck program is/was staffing resources at events.
Staff worked very closely with Volunteer Resources to recruit and secure volunteers to
assist with operating Bikecheck. A total of 14 volunteers provided assistance at various
events throughout the year, totalling over 102 hours by these volunteers. Bikecheck
would not have been able to effectively operate and achieve the success realzied in its
first year, if it was not for the time and energy committed by these volunteers.
Staff worked closely with Communications in delivering messaging about the Bikecheck
service at events. This included promotion and advertisement through paid
advertisements on Facebook and Instagram as well as unpaid advertisements on
Facebook and Twitter. The social media campaign ran between the months of May and
August and resulted in:
Paid Advertisements - Facebook and Instagram (four advertisements for each)

BikeKitchener Partnerships
BikeKitchener partnered with a variety of organizations to help promote and collaborate
on various cycling initiatives, including but not limited to:
leading and facilitating bike rides
hosting and running bike safety courses
providing discounted food purchases for those that participated in bike rides
providing bicycle equipment, including bicycles, as prizes for various events
throughout the year.
Below is a list of organizations BikeKitchener collaborated with throughout the year.

Cycling Into The Future
Cycling into the Future is a not-for-profit group that provides comprehensive bike
training to grade 5 students, with the goal of increasing the knowledge, safety,
confidence and skills of young riders. Children who are 10 and 11 years old are
beginning to use their bikes as a means of transportation and transitioning from
sidewalk to road riding. This is the ideal time to train children to ride safely on residential
streets.
The program includes five (5) one hour modules (Rules & Safety, Repair &
Maintenance, Rodeo Riding, Road Riding and Assessment) and provides parents and
teachers with information about student achievement and how to extend the bike
training. Furthermore, students are provided with a bicycle (which they keep once
completed) if they do not own or have access to one.
14 - 7
BikeKitchener supports this program both financially (through a subsidy) and by
providing lights and bells for each student. The financial subsidy from BikeKitchener
($10 per student) has helped to make the program more inclusive by keeping the
student payment under the $10 threshold. Individual schools provide a further subsidy
as needed, to ensure all students can participate. By helping to fund this program, the
City of Kitchener is supporting a cycling education approach which is unique in Ontario
for its inclusive and comprehensive scope. On the following page Table 4 - Cycling Into
The Future Participants, provides a summary of the number of students that have taken
part in the program since 2014.

Inter-Municipal Partnership for Active Transportation (IMPAcT)
City of Kitchener Active Transportation staff is part of a working group that includes The
Region of Waterloo, City of Cambridge, City of Waterloo, Community Access Bikeshare,
Canadian Automobile Association, Ministry of Transportation, Waterloo Region Public
Health, Waterloo Region School Transportation and Waterloo Regional Police Services.
The purpose of the group is to work collaboratively in planning and promoting safe
walking, cycling and other forms of active transportation within Waterloo Region.
In an effort to create a supportive cycling culture, IMPAcT facilitated a cycling forum in
November 2016 at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium. Cycling enthusiasts were invited
to take part and share their ideas on cycling safety, encouraging others to cycle and
creating communities that support all types of cyclists. This forum included workshops
for attendees in order for them to share their ideas with IMPAcT, as well as keynote
speakers and an expert panel discussion. The forum was attended by over 70 people
and included a presentation from Jared Kolb, Executive Director of Cycle Toronto.
The forum focused on three main areas; Safety and Education, Promotion and
Outreach and Bikes and Business. From all the information obtained, IMPAcT will be
working towards identifying, prioritizing and fulfilling action items identified.
BikeFest
th
2016 marked the 4 year for BikeFest and saw an
estimated 700 people attend. Included with this yea
Cycle for Angels. The event connected cyclists and families to various vendors, free
bike tune ups and/or safety checkovers and a bike rodeo. The event concluded by
a number of attendees participating in the Cycle for Angels bike ride. As part of the
14 - 8
continued marketing and promotion of the event, two bicycles were given away for
those that attended and visited the various vendor booths.
BikeKitchener Cycling Survey - 2016
The BikeKitchener Cycling Survey was created as a way to understand the progress of
cycling in Kitchener and is recommended within the Cycling Master Plan as a way to
monitor and evaluate the performance of the Cycling Master Plan. The intentions of the
survey are to:
Understand barriers that discourage people from cycling;
Identify future improvements to encourage cycling in the community;
Measure public opinion on matters related to cycling in Kitchener; and,
Assess the public's awareness of BikeKitchener cycling programs, policies, and
initiatives
The survey was completed by over 800 residents between the months of May and
September, with over 600 completed through an online forum. Residents who
completed the survey were entered into a draw for a $750 voucher towards the
purchase of a bike, accessories and/or equipment at a local bicycle shop.
The results of the survey have been summarized and compiled into the first edition of
-
allow staff to share the results of the survey, as well as progress made in implementing
the Cycling Master Plan, with the general public. The goal is to share this document at
future events and produce it every two (2) years, in tandem with the BikeKitchener
Cycling Survey.

WHO CYCLES?
As cycling in Kitchener continues to grow, it is important to
identify who cycles so the city can invest to meet the needs of
those who are already on their bikes, while encouraging others
to grab life by the handlebars.
