Review of the Strategic Plan
We are updating the strategic plan, Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region (2006). The purpose of the revised plan will be to provide a framework for future planning and day-to-day management of the Capital Pathway.
An update to the plan is essential to respond to new realities — such as the growing use of scooters and other electric mobility devices, an increased demand for new access links, advancements in signage and wayfinding — as well as to develop best approaches for winter uses of the pathway and for climate change adaptation.
The following are the main objectives for the new plan, which is to be approved in 2020:
- update the vision and guiding principles
- harmonize federal and municipal planning, where possible
- set strategic directions and priorities for the next 10 years
- provide management tools and design guidelines
The strategic plan review will address various topics:
- pathway design, development and linkage opportunities
- user safety
- signage
- amenities
