Taking A Spin In the Town of Caledon

The Region of Peel has made its community more cyclist-friendly using investments from the Canada Community-Building Fund.

In 2021, the municipality added paved shoulders on Olde Base Line Road between Heart Lake Road and Kennedy Road in the Town of Caledon to be used a cycling route.

This addition lengthens and provides a key connection to the Town’s existing bicycle route, promoting active living and outdoor exercise, cycling tourism, and provides an alternative transportation route for residents.

Upgrades in this area included paving a two-metre-wide area of the shoulder for riders, adding a painted buffer to separate the paved shoulder from vehicular traffic, adding signage to identify that section of the road as part of a dedicated bike route, and adding directional arrows to connect the Town of Caledon’s adjacent routes along Kennedy and Heart Lake Roads.

The construction of these cyclist-friendly paved shoulders will make it much safer for residents and tourists to ride the roadways in Caledon.
