Cycling projects
The City is building cycling connections that will enable you to cycle comfortably to more destinations around London.

Cycling is an important priority for the City and supports London's transportation and climate goals. About 27 kilometres of new bike lanes are being built in 2026.
Different types of cycling improvements continue to be made each year to connect more neighbourhoods and local destinations. Some of this work may include upgrading intersections, improving the road surface, or constructing cycle tracks. Cycle tracks are bike lanes separated from vehicle traffic and distinct from sidewalks. They can also sometimes be protected with concrete barriers along the bike lane.
This work will help create safer and more attractive options for people to get around London.
Cycling projects planned for construction this year:
Boler Road Cycling and Watermain Improvements
This project will implement a new two-way cycle track on the east side of Boler Road between Commissioners Road and Southdale Road, add two new pedestrian crossings, make traffic signal improvements, and replace the watermain between Byron Baseline Road and Griffith Street.
Clarke Road Walking and Cycling Improvements
- This project will build a two-way boulevard cycle track on Clarke Road in 2026 to provide a missing connection from the Wavell Street protected bike lanes to Clarke Road Secondary School and Argyle Mall. Sidewalks will be widened and relocated further from the road.
Commissioners Road/ Pond Mills Road/ Deveron Crescent
- To accommodate new development and improve reliability, the City is adding or replacing watermains on Commissioners Road, Pond Mills Road, and on Deveron Crescent. At the same time, cycling and intersection safety improvements will be completed throughout the corridor.
Gainsborough Road Rehabilitation
- This project will replace the aging asphalt roadway and at the same time introduce curbs and boulevard cycle tracks between Aldersbrook Road and Wonderland Road.
Kilally Road Infrastructure Project
This project will build one-way cycle tracks between Webster Street and Sandford Street, and bike lanes east of Sandford Street to Clarke Road. This is part of a larger infrastructure project to provide the city services needed to facilitate new housing development.
Ridout Street Rehabilitation
Major roadway works are already complete, including the replacement of surface asphalt and new signage. The remaining work is localized and includes minor sidewalk replacement, installation of the protected bike lanes, and application of final pavement markings.
Sunningdale Road and Richmond Street intersection improvements
This project improves and widens the Sunningdale Road and Richmond Street intersection, including a new sidewalks, boulevard cycle tracks and multi-use paths.
Sunningdale Road Widening - Wonderland Road to VIllagewalk Blvd
This project will reconstruct Sunningdale Road with cycle tracks and sidewalks on each side of the new widened road.
Western Road / Sarnia Road/ Philip Aziz Avenue Improvements
This project will complete a missing gap in the cycling network, providing a two-way cycle track on Western Road between Lambton Drive and Platt’s Lane, and providing one-way boulevard cycle tracks on both sides of Sarnia Road and Philip Aziz. This is part of larger improvements to support growth, upgrade aging infrastructure, and make safety improvements.
Additional projects
Wellington Street Multi-Use Path – Wellington Gateway Rapid Transit
- As part of the Wellington Gateway Rapid Transit project, a multi-use path is being implemented along Wellington Street between the South Branch of the Thames River and White Oaks Mall. The multi-use path will be on the east side of the road allowing two-way cycling travel on the east side. It will be built over many construction projects until the Wellington Gateway is completed.
Bradley Avenue Extension
- The construction continues for the new section of Bradley Avenue that will also include cycle tracks on both sides.
Oxford Street West at Wonderland
- A sewer replacement is an opportunity to complete the missing gap in the cycling network, on the north side of Oxford Street between Capulet Walk and beyond Capulet Lane.
Recent cycling improvements
Below are a few examples of the improvements the City has made to cycling infrastructure in recent years:
Image
Bradley Avenue cycle track
In 2023 and 2024, new cycle tracks were added to Bradley Avenue between Jalna Boulevard and Wellington Road. The new cycle tracks enhance connections to nearby parks, schools and green spaces, and supports different forms of mobility.
Boulevard cycle tracks keep people on bikes physically separate from motor vehicles, and include enhanced intersection crossings to increase comfort and safety for cyclists.

Cheapside Street cycling improvements
In 2023 and 2024, new cycling facilities were added to Cheapside Street between Richmond Street and Adelaide Street, including cycle tracks and painted bike lanes. It completes a missing link in the cycling network that connects Western University, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Fanshawe College.
Image
Brydges, Wavell, and Saskatoon Street cycling facilities
Improvements were made in 2022 to traffic and cycling infrastructure on Brydges Street, Wavell Street, and Saskatoon Street.
This project constructed protected bike lanes, upgraded traffic signals, and improved intersection design and transit stops. The bike lane also connects many key destinations in the area such as East Lions Community Centre, Clarke Road Secondary School, Argyle Mall and Kiwanis Park.
Image
Dundas cycle track
The Dundas cycle track connects downtown with Old East Village by creating a separated east-west cycling route on Dundas Street between Wellington Street and Adelaide Street North. The west end of the project connects into Dundas Place and the east end of the project connects into another separated bike lane through Old East Village along Dundas Street between Adelaide and Ontario Streets.
This project was completed in 2021 and included constructing a protected intersection where Dundas Street meets Colborne Street.

Bridges along the Thames Valley Parkway’s north branch
Two bridges and a new multi-use trail were opened in 2020 along the Thames Valley Parkway. These improvements allow Londoners to cross the Thames River between Ross Park and the North London Athletic Fields for the first time.
The bridges and multi-use trail can be accessed from the west through Ross Park off of Richmond Street. From the east, residents can reach the area from the North London Athletic Fields located on Adelaide Street at Kipps Lane.
