Henry Street Bike Lane Project
Connecting the cycling networks
Our goal is to create an established cycling network to support a safer environment and encourage Active Transportation. Henry Street is identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) as one of the many cycling corridors across Brantford. These bicycle lanes will provide a connection to the existing multi-use path on Henry Street, as well as the existing multi-use path on Wayne Gretzky Parkway.
What will these changes look like?
Curb to curb road widths will remain the same-there will be no modifications to sidewalks or private properties. Traffic control at intersections along the corridor will remain the same.
Existing cross-section on Henry Street
The current cross-section of Henry Street consists of two vehicle travel lanes in each direction approximately 3.4 metres wide. Cyclists have to share these lanes with motorists.
Proposed cross-section on Henry Street
From Brock Street to Stanley Street/Bosworth Court
The proposed changes include one 1.5 metre wide bicycle lane and one 3.4 metre wide vehicular lane in each direction with a 3.3 metre wide dedicated two-way centre turn lane. Additionally, buffer lanes will be installed that physically separate cyclists from motorists to create a safer and more comfortable cycling environment.
From Stanley Street/Bosworth Court to Wayne Gretzky Parkway
Since traffic volumes are high on this section of roadway, a multi-use path is proposed in order to create a separate cycling space and to ensure there are no changes to the roadway configuration for this stretch of road.
We want to hear from you!
