Who Does What?
- Bike lanes within the paved portion of the roadway are maintained as part of the street network by Road Operations.
- Signage, pavement markings, and traffic signals are maintained by Traffic Operations & Engineering.
- Multi-use trails are part of the parks and open space system, and are maintained by Parks Maintenance.
Typically, the multi-use trails that are maintained by the City are owned by the City of Hamilton. There are other trails within the city that are owned and maintained by other organizations, such as the Hamilton Conservation Authority.
Winter maintenance - The City provides winter maintenance of bike lanes within the paved portion of the roadway. Select multi-use trails are ploughed in winter.
Rural resurfacing - In rural areas, the annual road resurfacing process makes cycling a challenge for one or two months afterwards.
