ClearPath Journal

What This Journal Covers

ClearPath Journal focuses on cycling infrastructure in Canada—bike lanes, protected cycling corridors, commuter cycling networks, and the municipal decisions that shape them. The content draws from publicly available sources: city planning documents, transport authority reports, environmental assessment filings, budget submissions, and municipal staff reports.

The geographic scope is national. Coverage spans the largest cities—Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa—and smaller municipalities where infrastructure decisions are nonetheless consequential for local cycling conditions. The aim is to document what is being built, where, and under what policy and funding conditions.

Editorial Approach

Articles are written in a descriptive, informational style. The journal does not advocate for specific policy positions or infrastructure choices. It records what is planned, what is constructed, and what the relevant context is—design standards, funding sources, governance arrangements, and operational approaches.

The following are excluded from this journal's content:

• Invented statistics or data without a public source
• Fabricated organisations, studies, or citations
• Quotes attributed to individuals who are not publicly recorded as having said them
• Predictions presented as fact

Where exact figures or conditions are unknown, articles use neutral descriptive language rather than approximations presented as precise data.
