SFU researchers develop interactive mapping tool, which will allow communities across B.C. to compare and analyze bike infrastructure.
However, the amount of planning that goes into providing a safe and useful path network for drivers can be agonizingly complex, given the number of metrics involved in bike infrastructure. Complicating matters further is that each city tends to use its own names for many of those metrics, making it difficult for one municipality to lean on another jurisdiction for help in developing its own bike infrastructure.
Led by faculty of health sciences professor Meghan Winters, the project was funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, which acknowledged a lack of a national data set on cycling infrastructure. Mike Koski, executive director of BCCC, believes that the tool could benefit a lot of people, particularly those contemplating making the jump to biking, but are holding back due to safety concerns.
