Nearly $400,000 is being allocated to North Bay and Callander through the Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program, MPP Vic Fedeli announced today.
North Bay is receiving $325,000 while Callander is receiving $71,741 to build new, or improve existing cycling infrastructure.
The funding will help municipalities pay for 50 per cent of eligible local project costs to a maximum of $325,000.
The money will be used to help install or improve on-road cycling lanes, off-road cycling and walking paths, cycling-specific traffic signals and signs, active transportation bridges and bike racks.
The Ontario Municipal Cycling Infrastructure Program is part of a 20-year vision to encourage the growth of cycling and improve safety for cyclists across the province.
“North Bay and Callander have a long history of supporting cycling and other trail use opportunities to improve the quality of life for residents in their communities. I’m pleased to see that commitment being recognized,” said Fedeli.
