It’s full steam ahead for the downtown cycle track network.

Council has approved a budget of nearly $6.7-millon, but decided to axe plans for various visual improvements along Stephen Avenue.

The gates will be replaced at a cost of $138,000 and $62,000 will be spent for line painting at intersections.

The Downtown Business Revitalization Zone has expressed safety concerns about bikes on Stephen Avenue, but there will be no barriers to separate cyclists and pedestrians.

The one year pilot project begins in July.
