Cycle Network Plan

Prince George's network of bike routes and bikeways is designed to encourage people to travel by bike. Biking reduces traffic congestion, lessens pollution, and improves air quality.

The City developed a Cycle Network Plan based on input from the public as well as from City staff and the Ministry of Transportation and Highways.
