Dedicated bike lanes are set to be added soon on Station Street and City Road.

The City of Saint John said crews are aiming to begin the work during the week of October 13, weather permitting.

The lanes will run on both sides of the streets from Smythe Street to the Stanley Street active transportation bridge.

The project is part of the Trans Canada Trail and the city’s MoveSJ strategy, which is designed to create a more connected and sustainable transportation network.

Along with the bike lanes, the city said a “road diet” will be introduced, reducing the streets from four lanes to three.

The change is intended to maintain traffic flow, encourage safer driving speeds, improve pedestrian safety and create space for cyclists.
