Proposals

Formal proposals from the Burlington for Active Transport Coalition for concrete improvements to our active-transport network.

We don’t just point at problems — we propose solutions. Below are the formal proposals developed by the coalition: detailed, actionable documents laying out specific improvements we’d like to see in Burlington’s active-transport network.

Each proposal is a living document. We welcome feedback, refinement, and — most of all — adoption.

Proposed

Upper Middle Road Cycling Corridor

Proposal to rebuild the derelict south-side path on Upper Middle Road between Guelph Line and Country Club Drive as a continuous bi-directional protected cycling corridor: widened to 4.0 m, lit, signalized where it crosses traffic, and cleared in winter.

Bronte Creek Active Transportation Crossing

Concept proposal for a clear-span walking and cycling bridge over the Bronte Creek ravine, joining the two halves of Bronte Creek Provincial Park and giving 27,000 existing residents — and 16,000 more on the way — a car-free route between Burlington and Oakville.
