67 km of Separated On-Street Bike Lanes in Montreal and Other Numbers That May Make Me Cry
Montreal, Canada’s second most populated city boasts 502 km of cycling paths and bike lanes and is currently increasing that number by another 51 km this year.
In Toronto, we just painted 2 km of bike lanes along Jarvis.
But, you may be thinking, Quebec and Montreal are known for having fantastic trails and much of this cycling infrastructure must be through parks and just for recreational riders. So, let’s let the Montreal Gazette break down the numbers for us (click on the image for a clearer look):

Vancouver’s also constructing a bunch of separated bike lanes. Just completed Dunsmuir and now they are looking at both Hornby and Comox streets, which will completely traverse the downtown core. Of course, they do all this right after I move to Toronto…
