An Active Transportation Plan for the Town of Wasaga Beach
©
In March 2008 Meridian Planning Consultants were retained by the Town of Wasaga Beach to prepare an Active Transportation Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to provide a guiding document that will improve pedestrian, hiking and biking facilities and promote a vision of the future where residents and visitors can move about the community in a safe and convenient manner on a comprehensive pedestrian and cycling system.
The Active Transportation Plan outlines a plan to:
- Expand the Town's existing pedestrian and cycling system by employing off road trails, on road bike lanes, signed bike routes and sidewalks.
- Constuct high quality pedestrian infrastructure and signage.
- Link the land north of the Nottawasaga River to the area to the south using a series of pedestrian bridges
- Provide convenient accessible locations for visitors to park cars while accessing the pedestrian and cycling system and improved public transit
- Identify an opportunity to develop an integrated wayfinding system to be utilized throughout the Town and the Provincial Park
- Provide opportunities to access the Nottawasaga River through a series of proposed or improved canoe launches
- Improve pedestrian safety by installing pedestrian crossings on Mosley Street and River Road West
- Partner with Ontario Parks and neighbouring municipalities and empower residents in the network's development
