Shared Paths

West side 550 $150,000 in progress
All shared paths painted

The shared path on Brompton Road was created by widening the existing 1.5 metre path to a 3
metre width. The section between Empire Avenue and Bent Street has several narrow sections
where the original 1.5 metre wide path could not be widened due to the proximity of street
trees. If the trees are relocated, then the path can be made 3.0 metres wide for the entire
length.
The shared path on Salvado Road between Haydn Bunton Drive and Station Street was
deferred due to the development of a larger shared path project on Salvado Road between
Selby Street and Haydn Bunton Drive with the City of Subiaco. This was reported to Council in
April 2011 (Item CR11.32).
Drawing "Appendix I Town of Cambridge Long Term Bike Plan", from the Bike Plan 2009, has
been updated to show the current network of shared paths. A copy of this plan is provided as
an attachment to this report. The functioning shared paths are shown in red and the paths that
are proposed for construction are shown in purple. The paths that are proposed for
construction may be scheduled on a 5 year program with approximately $500,000 funding per
year as listed in the table below.
