Coquitlam’s Commitment to Cycling and Sustainable Transportation
The City’s annual participation in Go by Bike Week events is just one example of the ongoing commitment to cycling and sustainable transportation.
- Coquitlam has 35km of cycling infrastructure.
- New to cycling or want a refresher? Register for biking (or e-scooter) skills training courses during the summer.
- Have a broken bike that needs fixing? Bring it to any of our Repair Café events.
- For quick DIY repairs, stop by the bike maintenance stations at Poirier Sport and Leisure Complex (633 Poirier Street) or City Centre Aquatic Complex (1210 Pinetree Way). They are equipped with the basic tools to make adjustments and pump up tires.
- For temporary parking, use the TransLink bike parkades at Lafarge Lake-Douglas and Burquitlam SkyTrain stations.
- Don’t have your own wheels? Rent an e-bike (or e-scooter) from Lime in City Centre.
- Cyclists can access bike route details and rider safety information on the TransLink TriCities Cycling map (including Anmore and Belcarra).
With the right gear, cycling is possible year-round in Coquitlam, and with the popularity of e-bikes, hills and longer distances are no longer the obstacles that they once were. More information on cycling in Coquitlam can be found at coquitlam.ca/cycling.
About Coquitlam’s Transportation Plan Update
The City adopted its current Strategic Transportation Plan in 2012. Since then, there have been significant changes including the addition of SkyTrain, consideration of different kinds of street users and emerging technologies to address climate change mitigation and adaptation.
A new Transportation Plan is being developed in five phases, supported by two key strategies: an E-Mobility Strategy and a Road Safety Strategy. These will move forward in parallel, guided by the Plan’s vision and themes.
The Plan will also align with other important City initiatives, including the Environmental Sustainability Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Climate Action Plan and Accessibility and Inclusion Plan.
