Safer, less steep, paved bike/walk routes between Upper and Lower Gibsons

Getting from Lower to Upper Gibsons (and back) can be a challenge! In order to provide cyclists and pedestrians with a more gentle route, and in keeping with its long-term vision to improve our pedestrian and cycling network, the Town implemented the connector route as shown in the map below.

In 2018, a low gradient, multi-use pathway was constructed along one section of Gibsons Way, as well as an at-grade bike lane and separated sidewalk along another section, to create a connector between Lower Gibsons and Upper Gibsons. (See red arrows on map, below.)

In 2021,  the connector project was completed by constructing a downhill bike lane between School Road and North Fletcher Road (as indicated by the yellow arrows) and modifying North Fletcher Road so that it is more accessible for all user groups (green arrows).
