Lunenburg, 2018 —2019

Cycling Nova Scotia is partnering with the Village of Pugwash to improve walking, rolling, and cycling connections!

About the Project

The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Bicycle Nova Scotia (BNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of Lunenburg. We launched the project to help communities evaluate their potential to develop cycling routes that make residents of all ages and people with disabilities feel comfortable cycling in their community. We want to encourage active transportation throughout the province by supporting efforts to build safe and convenient bike routes. There are three phases of project planning and you can learn more about the project phases for the Town of Lunenburg below.

Phase 1: Identify key bicycle network corridors  

We worked with the Lunenburg community to identify three priority improvements that would make it easier to get around by bike. These connected cycling routes are designed to provide a basic bike network that is immediately functional and can act as the spine of the network for future growth.

Phase 2: Route Selection

We worked with community residents, planners, advisory committees, and stakeholders to select one of the routes to advance into the concept design stage. Together, we selected the Cross-Town Connector route for Lunenburg based on a combination of its overall importance and feasibility of implementation in the near term.

Phase 3: Concept Design

In Phase 3 we prepared conceptual design options for a bike route across the Town, including Broad Street, the Front Harbour Trail, and Montague Street. Our designs consider traffic conditions and the existing use of the right-of-way. We then selected the preferred design option for refinement and cost estimation.
