Safe cycling and walking infrastructure encourages people to experience communities in a way that can’t be done while in a motor vehicle.
The City of New Westminster got it right by building a multi-use path through Tipperary Park that people both cycling and walking can enjoy at the same time.
In particular, the addition of the switchback at the Royal Avenue end ensures that young people cycling downhill toward Royal will not end up in traffic. Advocating for safe cycling pathways often feels like a struggle for each metre, but in Tipperary Park, the City of New Westminster has given our community 245 metres.
