The Route Verte concept dates back to the late 1980s, when the key members of Vélo Québec were already articulating, in various forms, their plans for the future of cycling in Québec. In 1995, the Government of Québec announced that it would collaborate with Vélo Québec on the planning and construction of the Route Verte, investing $88.5 million over ten years to develop a bikeway over 4,000 kilometres linking all parts of Québec.
