The pilot project created a 6.5 km network of protected bike lanes to provide better transportation options for Calgarians and visitors to reach destinations in the Centre City. The presence of bicycle lanes that are, for the most part, separated by a barrier from people driving and walking has led to a tripling of cycling along the network and the largest recorded single year increase of bike trips into downtown (up 40% from May 2015 to May 2016). With the new infrastructure there have been many lessons learned along the way. Several different design treatments have now been tried, tested and in many cases, have been modified during the pilot based on public input and monitoring by the Transportation Department. Over 100 adjustments were made during the pilot to improve parking, traffic operations and reduce conflict between people walking, cycling and driving. Other adjustments can be made after the pilot, should Council choose to keep the network. Council asked Administration to monitor and report back on over 80 performance measures. This report summarizes that data to help inform the final decision on the pilot project. While not every target was met, the objectives of the pilot have been achieved: • People cycling can safely access more destinations. • The number of people cycling on cycle tracks and downtown has increased. • The impacts to people walking or driving have been modest. Council will determine if a grid of bike friendly streets will be available to Calgarians and visitors travelling downtown and in the Beltline, which is home to as many as 160,000 employees, 40,000 residents, and has plans for continued growth. Over the years the Centre City has evolved to move people efficiently, and features 300 km of lanes to move traffic, a transit mall, a pedestrian mall, pathways along the Bow and Elbow rivers, a network of skyways (Plus 15) and possibly a network of bike friendly streets. This project seeks to augment that network to make cycling a safe and convenient option. Council will now determine if a grid of bike friendly streets will be available to Calgarians and visitors travelling downtown and in the Beltline. Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 5 Project background Planning for a network of downtown cycle tracks began in 2011 with the adoption of the Cycling Strategy. Although cycling downtown had been slowly increasing as of 2009, mostly along the pathways, there was little on-street bicycle infrastructure. Project milestones July 2011 - Council approved a motion to determine a separated cycle track network in the Centre City. September 2011 - A Centre City Bicycle Projects Committee made up of business and community associations and the cycling community was established to provide input on a future network. July 2013 - Calgary’s first downtown cycle track opens on 7 Street S.W. Spring 2013 to Spring 2014 - Extensive public engagement through 90 open houses, information sessions, one-on-one meetings to determine proposed network. April 2014 - A 7.3 km network of cycle tracks is proposed on four corridors. After removing the proposed 1 Street S.E. cycle track, Council approved a modified 6.5 km network on three corridors including a shared space on Stephen Avenue and Olympic Plaza block as an 18 month pilot project with a maximum budget of $7.1 million. Summer 2014 to Spring 2015 - After approval, The City began designing each corridor while working with stakeholders. January 2015 - Council approved a comprehensive evaluation program. Spring 2015 - Network constructed and opened two weeks early on June 18, 2015. August 2016 - One million bicycle trips recorded on the pilot network (event pictured). December 2016 - Final report and decision on pilot network. The pilot network was constructed in spring 2015 and opened on June 18, 2015. Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 6 Evaluation plan Data collection tools: To help evaluate the pilot project, Council asked for an extensive data collection and evaluation plan. Project data was collected at ten count locations at six different times during the project. Baseline data was collected in September 2014, and final project data was collected in September 2016. To provide a snapshot of how the network operates in winter, a portion of the data was collected in January 2015 and 2016. Data was collected and verified using a variety of automated, manual and survey tools including: PERFORMANCE MEASURE MEASUREMENT METHOD Satisfaction Ipsos (third party) telephone survey of Calgarians Safety Collision data collected by Calgary Police Service Bicycle Volumes Automated counters embedded into pavement at 10 count locations along the cycle tracks Peak period travel time for automobiles GPS and stop watch trials for a vehicle travelling the entire length of the corridor Unlawful sidewalk riding and wrong way riding Manual count by Transportation Economic Vitality - merchants along route In-person surveys conducted by Transportation Economic Vitality - pedestrians along route In-person surveys conducted by Transportation Demographics - age Manual count by Transportation Demographics - gender Manual count by Transportation Handheld electronic counter used for manual data collection. Automated counter. Manual counts and vehicle travel times are collected on a single day during each evaluation period.

Before the pilot network people cycling in the Centre City had little dedicated infrastructure to ride on, leading to more confident people cycling with traffic. Before the cycle track, 78% of people cycling on the routes were men and 99.9% were adults on weekdays. Demographic data for the Evaluation Plan was collected on a weekday in September 2016. Additional data was collected on a Saturday in August 2016 to track trends during weekends. At the three middle count locations: The cycle tracks bring the comfort of the pathway to the streets. During the pilot, the number of women and children cycling increased substantially, demonstrating a higher feeling of safety. female Weekday bicycle trips at the three middle count locations: The percentage of women riding on the corridors increased.

Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 17 Safety Ensuring that Calgarians are travelling safely on our roadways is a City priority. Safety along the network was closely monitored during the pilot period. Collisions involving bicyclists Collisions for all modes During one year of the pilot period (June 18, 2015 – June 18, 2016) there were 39 reported bicycle collisions and zero fatalities along cycle track corridors. This is an increase in the number reported bicycle collisions along cycle track corridors from before the pilot; however, the number of bicycle trips also increased over the same period of time (graph below). In many instances, the project team reviewed locations where an incident occurred and made adjustments. This included additional dashed green paint at alleys and driveways, parking changes to improve sight lines for turning vehicles, or additional signage. The number of total collisions (as shown in Appendix A) decreased or remained the same on each cycle track corridor. A road safety review was conducted by a consultant and found no major issues but it did identify items for future adjustments to continue to improve travel experience, traffic operations and safety. The pilot network is still new and The City will continue to collect safety data and monitor the network to ensure a safe travel experience for everyone. The number of collisions on Stephen Avenue involving motorists increased slightly, though there were no reported collisions involving a cyclist. 90% of people walking, cycling & driving reported feeling safe travelling on the pilot corridors after the cycle tracks were installed.

Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 24 Planned adjustments Certain issues were not addressed during the pilot because the work was more costly or substantial, but can be upgraded after the pilot. Parking and loading Traffic operations Feedback and communication during the pilot: 2,000+ 311 calls 9 • To help address parking and loading issues, The City can re-design 8 Avenue from 4 Street to 5 Street S.W. • To help improve the experience for people driving along 12 Avenue S., The City will work with residents and businesses to consistently place parking along the corridor and remove the lane shift. Cycling experience Reducing conflict advisory committee meetings attended by neighbourhood associations, BRZs, community organizations and members of the public. 17 monthly newsletters sent to stakeholders. • T here are two bus stops on the 8 Avenue track (east of 8 Street S.W. and 6 Street S.W.). People cycling share the space with buses with no separation. Installing a physical separation between buses and people cycling will provide a smooth travel experience for everyone. • I nstalling advanced protected left turn signal phases at key intersections will help reduce conflicts with people cycling and walking and keep traffic moving efficiently. Locations to consider in the short term include: • 8 Avenue and 7 Street S.W. • 5 Street and 10 Avenue S.W. 150 business visits in June/July 2016 to hear feedback and offer educational resources. Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 25 Education & enforcement From construction through to the end of the pilot, education and communication tools were used to ensure the public was informed about the changes to the road with the addition of the three cycle track corridors. A comprehensive approach was developed and had three levels of activities: Building a culture Reaching out 85,000+ Providing information Providing information Reaching out Educational resources reached thousands of Calgarians through: • A Cycle Track Tips Guide • Newsletters • Project website and social media • Parkade signage • On-street signage • Stickers on bike racks Bicycle Ambassadors worked from May to August in 2015 and 2016 By reaching out to Calgarians, the Bicycle Ambassadors were able to have conversations about the project, answer questions, and provide resources in a variety of locations across the city at community events, road shows, festivals, on-street outreach, pop up events, visits to businesses along the cycle track network and targeted messaging. tip guides distributed city-wide available on-street at nine brochure holders across the cycle track network Our small team of trained summer students interacted with 32,000 Calgarians during the pilot project. Centre City Cycle Track Pilot FINAL REPORT 26 Building a culture Enforcement Building a culture was about creating a community and normalizing cycling through encouragement and awareness. Targeted awareness campaign Targeted awareness can help address undesired behaviours through developing a message to educate and encourage the road user to correct their behaviour in real time. Examples where this approach was used: • Encouraging courteous cycling and walking on the Stephen Avenue shared space. • Reminding people cycling to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks before turning at 7 Street and 8 Avenue S.W. • Helping people cycling make the transition from the south bound 5 Street S.W. cycle track across 17 Avenue S.W. to the on-street bikeway on 5 Street S.W. • Identifying wrong way cycling on 8 Avenue S.W. ‘Thank you’ campaign • In August 2015, the ‘Move Together- Thank You’ campaign thanked Calgarians for moving together safely along the network, whether they were walking, cycling, taking transit or driving. 1,000,000 cycle track trips event • In August 2016, the ‘One Million Trips’ event celebrated a cycle track milestone, thanked Calgarians for using the network, and provided the opportunity to continue sharing information about data collection along the network. 32,000+ Calgarians & visitors reached by Bicycle Ambassadors through their outreach efforts Data about the behaviour was collected before and after the intervention. There was notable improvement in behaviours at all locations after the education. Calgary Police Service & Community Standards • Partnering with the Calgary Police Services’ Mountain Bike Unit and Community Standards’ Bylaw Officers provided opportunities to communicate the rules of the road to people walking, cycling and driving through educational pop-up events. The Bicycle Program and the enforcement teams were able to reinforce how people can move together safely on Calgary’s roads by thanking users for demonstrating safe and courteous behaviours, and educating people who demonstrated undesired behaviours. The Bicycle Program and the enforcement teams were able to reinforce how people can move together safely on Calgary’s roads.

The values of the data collected might vary depending on circumstances such as construction, weather, change in local economy, or unforeseen events. 2. Satisfaction survey includes pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. 3. The number of responses is small at fewer than 100. 4. (a) Collision data can vary significantly from year to year. That’s why collision data is usually analyzed over a longer time span, such as three years or five years. ( b) For reference purposes, the collision rate or number of collisions per 100,000 population in Calgary is trending down every year, as described in the Safer Mobility Plan. ( c) Baseline collision data was exported on July 31, 2014 from the Reporting & Analysis of Collision Events (RACE) system. Collision records in RACE are collected and coded by the Calgary Police Service (CPS) for enforcement and legal purposes. Final data was exported October 31, 2016 from the RACE system. The CPS only provides The City of Calgary with records of collisions once the collisions have been processed, including completing any legal action that may be taken as a result of the collision. Consequently, The City of Calgary is delayed in receiving some collision records and recent data may be missing or incomplete. Therefore, minor discrepancies in data may occur due to exporting data on different dates. ( d) The benchmark is an annual average calculated over six years from 2009 to July 2014. The fall 2016 value will be one year of data after the pilot opens, from July 2015 to July 2016. ( e) VKT = vehicle kilometres travelled on the route. BKT = bicycle kilometres travelled on the route. 5. 16 - hour volumes (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.) 6. 6 - hour weekday manual count (6:30-9:30, 15:30-18:30). For pilot routes with multiple counting locations, values are averaged. 7. The Collision Rate per 100k Entering vehicles (intersection) and Collision rate per 100k Vehicle Kilometres Travelled (midblock) provides more detailed collision information than one Collision rate per 100K vehicle kilometres travelled for the entire corridor. 8. Weekdays 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. 9. (a) C areless riding as defined by the Alberta Traffic Safety Act: “without due care and attention” and “without reasonable consideration for persons using the highway” and with reference to the Calgary Traffic Bylaw: the traveller “will not interfere with the pedestrian.” (b) Near miss events, careless bicycle riding and bicycle speed data was collected manually by a Data Technician on a weekday (6:30-9:30 and 15:30-18:30). 10. Ongoing construction at these count locations. Construction at 3 Street S.E. resulted in a lane closure related delays in 2016 p.m. period. 11.
