The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of New Glasgow. We launched the project to help communities evaluate their potential to develop cycling routes that make residents of all ages and people with disabilities feel comfortable cycling in their community. We want to encourage active transportation throughout the province by supporting efforts to build safe and convenient bike routes. There are three phases of project planning and you can learn more about the project phases for the Town of New Glasgow below.

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.

Phase 3: Concept Design 

Phase 3 of the project includes developing a concept design for the priority cycling route in New Glasgow.

The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of Middleton. We launched the project to help communities evaluate their potential to develop cycling routes that make residents of all ages and people with disabilities feel comfortable cycling in their community. We want to encourage active transportation throughout the province by supporting efforts to build safe and convenient bike routes. There are two phases of project planning and you can learn more about the project phases for the Town of Middleton below.

Phase 1: Active Transportation Network Development & Identifying a Priority Route  

We started by working with the Middleton 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. In Phase 1 we also work edwith the community to identify a priority route out of the three routes that make up the network.

• ENGAGEMENT REPORT: Phase 1 – ‘What we Heard’ Engagement Report (Middleton)
• FINAL REPORT: Phase 1 – Active Transportation Network Planning Report (Middleton)

Phase 2: Concept Planning (Report to come)

We will work with community residents, Town staff, and stakeholders to advance the priority route to the concept design stage. Phase 2 will result in a concept plan design with specific facility types visualized and cost estimates. The Town can then use the concept plan to move forward with detailed design and construction.

The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of Annapolis Royal. We launched the project to help communities evaluate their potential to develop cycling routes that make residents of all ages and people with disabilities feel comfortable cycling in their community. We want to encourage active transportation throughout the province by supporting efforts to build safe and convenient bike routes. There are two phases of project planning and you can learn more about the project phases for the Town of Annapolis Royal below.

Phase 1: Active Transportation Network Development & Identifying a Priority Route 

We are currently working with the Annapolis Royal 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. In Phase 1 we will also work with the community to identify a priority route out of the three routes that make up the network.

Phase 2: Concept Planning (Report to come)

We will work with community residents, Town staff, and stakeholders to advance the priority route to the concept design stage. Phase 2 will result in a concept plan design with specific facility types visualized and cost estimates. The Town can then use the concept plan to move forward with detailed design and construction.
