Installing active transportation infrastructure and promoting cycling in our city is essential to our commitment to climate change action and improving overall quality of life for residents and is a priority in the 2017 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). Since 2017, approximately 140 kilometres of cycling infrastructure have been installed across Greater Sudbury.
