New Glasgow (Continued)

Cycling Nova Scotia is partnering with the Town of New Glasgow to improve walking, rolling, and cycling connections!

About the Project

The Core Active Transportation (AT) Networks Project (formerly the Blue Route HUBS project) is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and communities across the province, including the Town of New Glasgow. This project helps communities assess their potential for developing cycling routes that are safe and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities.

With strong support from the Province of Nova Scotia, we are returning to advance the detailed designs for the Priority Route and develop concept designs for the remainder of the Core AT Networks Project.

Stay tuned for engagement dates!

Phase 1: Identify key Cycling Network Corridors  

We started by working with the New Glasgow community to identify three routes that are the top priorities for cycling infrastructure improvements. These connected routes will provide a basic bike network that is immediately functional and can act as the spine of the network for future growth.

FINAL REPORT: Phase 1 – Active Transportation Network Planning Report (New Glasgow)

Phase 2: Route Selection

We then worked with community residents, Town staff, advisory committees, and stakeholders to select one of the three routes determined in Phase 1 to advance into the concept design stage. Together, we will select a cycling route based on a combination of its overall importance and feasibility of implementation in the near term.
