Vancouver is served by a network of over 400 lane-km of on- and off-road bicycle routes as you can see in Vancouver bike lane map. Most of these routes are local street bikeways (also known as bike boulevards), streets that have extensive traffic calming measures such as traffic circles, and signal control to facilitate crossing of major roads. Neighbourhoods are encouraged to plant and care for the circles and boulevards and add public art along bike routes. Since 2004, with the implementation of the Downtown Transportation Plan the City has been adding more bicycle lanes on roads in the densely populated downtown core, signalling its desire to encourage greater commuter use of bicycles. Canada census shows that cycling mode share for the City is 3.7% as compared to 1.7% for the Metro Vancouver area.
