Municipal staff has deemed the proposed bike park site as ideal for a “bowen-sized bike park.” Following some discussion on how the proposed park might impact the local trail system, outdoor learning at BICS and other potential concerns, council gave staff and the bike park group the go ahead to move forward on next steps.
After the completion of a survey of the potential site, and a volunteer/collaboration service agreement, the group can start drawing up plans for what the inner and outer pump track rings will look like.
Christoph Haase is a member of the Bike Park Group and says he is looking forward to moving this project onto the design stage.
“Our group needs to meet and tackle the design process,” says Haase. “We are trying to do as much as possible on a volunteer basis, but we may need professional help on this. I am definitely happy that our project now feels very concrete.”
