3rd annual 20-in-20 Infrastructure Challenge, circa 2020
Fix a pothole on a bike route
Improve a conflict area with paint or plastic bollards
Easy Fixes + Quick Wins = More people cycling more often
Celebrating small improvements and quick wins in the bicycle network, the 20-in-20 Infrastructure Challenge encourages participants to complete easy fixes that are part of regular operations and maintenance. Participants can build on these quick wins to make cycling safer and more comfortable for more people.
The third annual Infrastructure Challenge saw 13 participants complete 114 Quick Fixes across the region - the highest number of both participants and Fixes since the Challenge began! See below for details of the fixes.
