Why is the City adding new sidewalks and cycling facilities to some roads?

In June 2018, City Council adopted the Complete Streets Policy. This means that wherever possible during road construction, the City is aiming to provide more safe, and convenient, transportation options for people who walk, ride a bicycle or use public transit.

In 2016, City Council also adopted a sustainability-focused Transportation Master Plan that is guided by three main principles of building healthy communities and ensuring sustainability and economic vitality for Greater Sudbury.
