New bike lanes coming in 2024
As part of improving Guelph’s transportation network, we will be installing bike lanes on Scottsdale Drive this year. This will result in some changes to the vehicle lanes and on-street parking on Scottsdale Drive from College Avenue West to Kortright Road. View the information sheet to see what kinds of bike lanes are being installed and where they will be located.
The new bike lanes will enable more people to bike or scoot between homes, parks and shops. It will help students to cycle to and from the four elementary schools, the two high schools in the area, the mall and the university campus. Providing space for people to bike and scoot safely is part of ensuring that anyone of any age and ability can get around our city.
While we are not asking for feedback about this project, we are moving forward with installing the bike lanes and we do want to keep you informed. If you have questions about the project or the construction, we want you to be able to ask them and to get answers. Use the question tool below to ask us about the project.
We will also host a pop-up event later this Spring where you can meet the project team, get detailed project information, and ask questions or provide comments in person. Details of the event will be posted here when a date and location has been confirmed.

Hi Greg, Thank you for the question. Protected bike lanes are planned for the full length of Stevenson Street, from Speedvale Avenue to York Road. That project will be part of implementing the “Cycling Spine Network” identified in Guelph’s 2022 Transportation Master Plan (TMP). It will be a network of protected “All Ages and Abilities” infrastructure (see page 171 for map). We don’t yet have a firm timeline for the Stevenson Street project; implementation will likely be phased to align with budget and the timing of other road re-construction work in the area.
In addition, the Cycling Master Plan will be updated beginning in 2025 and will provide the opportunity for community feedback and Council consideration of future bike lane projects. We expect the updated Plan will feature more protected cycling facilities, low traffic side streets and protected intersections. This is because Provincial guidelines have been updated since the 2013 Cycling Master Plan, and many roads that previously featured painted bike lanes would now need to have protected facilities, per best practices.
Thank you for your contribution!
