Core AT Networks Project Partners
2024 – 2025 Project Partners
Town of Berwick
The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of Berwick. Our project aims to assist communities in assessing their ability to create cycling routes that are accessible and comfortable for people of all ages and those with disabilities. We are committed to promoting active transportation across the province by providing assistance in developing safe and convenient bike routes. The project planning is divided into two phases, and you can find more information about each phase below.
Phase 1: Active Transportation Network Development & Identifying a Priority Route
We are currently collaborating with the Town of Berwick to determine the three most important routes for improving cycling infrastructure. These connecting routes will create a fundamental biking network that is immediately functional and can serve as the foundation for further expansion. During the first phase, we will also cooperate with the community to designate a primary route from the three routes that constitute the network.

New Glasgow
The Blue Route Hubs Project is a collaboration between Cycling Nova Scotia (CNS) and several communities throughout the province, including the Town of New Glasgow. We launched the project to help communities evaluate their potential to develop cycling routes that make residents of all ages and people with disabilities feel comfortable cycling in their community. We want to encourage active transportation throughout the province by supporting efforts to build safe and convenient bike routes. There are three phases of project planning and you can learn more about the project phases for the Town of New Glasgow below.
Phase 1: Identify key Cycling Network Corridors
We started by working with the New Glasgow community to identify three routes that are the top priorities for cycling infrastructure improvements. These connected routes will provide a basic bike network that is immediately functional and can act as the spine of the network for future growth.

- FINAL REPORT: Phase 1 – Active Transportation Network Planning Report (New Glasgow)
Phase 2: Route Selection
We then worked with community residents, Town staff, advisory committees, and stakeholders to select one of the three routes determined in Phase 1 to advance into the concept design stage. Together, we will select a cycling route based on a combination of its overall importance and feasibility of implementation in the near term.
