Cycling Infrastructure and Its Relationship to Residential Property Prices (PDF)
Dr. Brian Doucet, Dr. Dawn Parker, Emma McDougall, Yu Huang, and Devin Feng
There is a commonly-held myth that bike lanes will reduce local property values. This myth is part of an often vocal ‘bikelash’ – resistance to cycling infrastructure. However, as with many other issues pertaining to cycling, there is little evidence to support this claim. This report explicitly seeks to understand to what extent cycling infrastructure impacts residential property values. Our case study examines the cities of Kitchener, À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and Cambridge, situated within the Region of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. All four local governments have been active in developing new cycling infrastructure, and they have also seen resistance to new infrastructure by some segments of the local community. While these cities do not have an abundance of separated cycling infrastructure, new bike lanes are added each year, and cycling is one of the most contentious local issues.
