A bike route between Tucker Park and the urban core could be built as soon as 2013–that from common council, where city staff pledged to create a plan for the so-called Campus-Harbour connection proposed by Uptown Saint John, which is putting up $10,000.
The Environment Committee’s Anne McShane tells CHSJ News the bike route will make uptown a more appealing destination for cash-strapped students and others–because, of course, not everyone has a car. Further, she says the route will also be great for Crescent Valley and the North End because it will link the communities together.
She says they’re hoping to start building by 2013. Councillor Donna Reardon and others said they were pleased to support more active transportation routes in the city.
