Coronation Avenue Bike Lanes

The City is excited to break ground on Duncan's first major east-west cycling corridor along Coronation Avenue, Ypres Street, and Queens Road.

Community input has indicated that a major barrier to cycling and other forms of active transportation within the City of Duncan is the lack of separated and protected bike lanes, which leads to a perceived unsafe environment for cyclists, especially children. Once complete, this project will provide cyclists of all ages and abilities a safe route between Duncan's downtown core, through the Coronation neighbourhood, to the Trans-Canada Highway corridor.

Key Elements of the Proposed Designs:

• For bicycles and active transportation, the installation of new protected bike lanes and multi-use path in both directions along Coronation Avenue, Ypres Street, and Queens Road between the Trans Canada Highway and Duncan Street.
• For vehicles, westbound through traffic on Coronation Avenue will be diverted to Ypres Street and onto Queens Road to access downtown.
• For vehicles, reconfiguration of Queens Road as a one-way street open to westbound traffic, with installation of new boulevards with trees. Bicycles will be able to travel in both directions along Queens Road and Ypres Street.
• Parking along the south side of Queens Road will be eliminated, while parking on the north side will mostly remain unaffected. Additional parking spaces will be available on the east side of Ypres Street.
• Coronation Avenue will be open for all eastbound vehicle traffic originating from Duncan Street and Brae Road and will retain its two-way configuration for local traffic between Ypres Street and Duncan Street.

This project aligns with the City’s Transportation and Mobility Strategy and reflects our commitment to providing safer, more accessible streets and sustainable transportation options for our community. The City is grateful to have received several grants to fund this project, which reflects a significant investment in active transportation, road safety, and sustainability for the City of Duncan.
