Objective 1 A Continuous Network of Safe and Direct Cycle Routes Objective 1 supports the goal for Cycling: Provide a continuous network of safe and direct bicycle routes with dedicated bicycle lanes, bikeways, shared routes, and multi-use pathways that enable residents to connect between neighbourhood centres, major employment centres, schools and amenities. Key Performance Indicators KPI 18 Number of priority connections completed as outlined by the Bicycle Master Plan KPI 19 Usage of routes on the bicycle network as measure by annual bicycle counts KPI 20 Kilometres of new bicycle network facilities Existing Tasks already undertaken by the City in support of this Objective: Continuing to implement major components of the bicycle network identified in the Kamloops Bicycle Master Plan Incorporating the importance of a continuous bicycle network in KAMPLAN 2017 Targets Target 18 Complete short-term priority cycling projects as outlined in the TMP by the year 2025 Target 19 Annual increase in bicycle usage Target 20 Add 3.8 km of bicycle facilities per year to complete short, medium and long-term project priorities of the TMP by 2040 New Tasks for the City to undertake in support of this Objective by adoption of the TMP: Investigate gaps and needs to determine priority improvements in neighbourhood centres, near school and parks, near major transit facilities and in mixed-use centres Page 4 of 18
Objective 2 Ability to Navigate the Network with Ease Objective 2 supports the goal for Cycling: Help cyclists plan trips efficiently and navigate the bicycle network between neighbourhood centres and major destinations with ease. Wayfinding can benefit cyclists by guiding them off heavy traffic routes onto lower volume routes and separated pathways, which can include off-street trails. Wayfinding is important for two types of cyclists: the inexperienced cyclist who requires information about how to make their cycling journey; and the experienced cyclist who could ride further and more often if better information was provided. Key Performance Indicators KPI 17 Level of Service on Active Transportation routes, as measured by public survey on comfort, safety and accessibility of pedestrian and bicycle conditions Existing Tasks already undertaken by the City in support of this Objective: Kamloops Bike Map Lines and Signs Projects Distribution of hardcopy and online resources to cycling maps, amenities, and other resources related to wayfinding and navigation Targets Target 17 Increase Level of Service on Active Transportation Routes New Tasks for the City to undertake in support of this Objective by adoption of the TMP: Develop a distinctive set of standards for cycling wayfinding materials including signage, bike maps, online resources and events by 2020 Update the Kamloops Bike Map every 2 years Page 5 of 18

Cyclist safety is a major barrier for people who want to bicycle, but feel it is less safe to do so than driving or taking public transit. Key Performance Indicators KPI 4 Active transportation infrastructure, as measured by the City s Five Year Capital Plan. KPI 6 Number of annual traffic collisions, fatalities, and injuries for all transportation modes (vehicles, walking, cycling) using existing ICBC collision data Targets Target 4 - Increase annual capital budget for active transportation improvements Target 6 Achieve 0% of all transportation collisions resulting in injury or fatality by 2040.
