A photo collection of Canadian examples of how cities - large, small, urban, suburban - are making space for physical distancing by rapidly deploying barriers to create sidewalks and bike lanes out of under-used road space:

@cityofcalgary was a Canadian leader in closing curb lanes to create additional space for pedestrians and cyclists @bikecalgary @SustainableYYC

@MTL_Ville started with a pilot and have now expanded to 8 other boroughs. “The implementation of safety corridors will enable Montrealers to travel safely along commercial thoroughfares for their essential needs, all while observing social distancing.” – @Val_Plante

The targeted closure of parking spots in front of shops in @MTL_Ville allows for safe queuing and safe walking

@cityofwinnipeg has limited traffic to create slow streets for cyclists, pedestrians and families

@CityofVancouver has closed Beach Ave eastbound to help residents keep 2 m away from others while exercising and getting fresh air @WeAreHub @martynschmoll

The curb lane on Saskatchewan Dr in @CityofEdmonton has been converted to a shared-use path @bikeedmonton

The Curé-Marchand bridge in @VilleDrummond is now closed to vehicles and open to pedestrians

@CityBrampton has created a bike lane along Vodden St, a key connector in their Covid Cycling Network

@New_Westminster has closed the northbound lane of McInnes Overpass to allow pedestrians and cyclists to access downtown and the SkyTrain without having to worry about the narrow sidewalk @WeAreHub
