Coquitlam’s Commitment to Cycling

How we move people and goods in, through and around Coquitlam is changing, so the City is currently working on an updated Strategic Transportation Plan. This plan will help define the potential improvements needed to help secure the use of sustainable transportation modes including bicycles.
