SUGGESTED ROUTES

Each suggested route requires a site-specific approach to design. In general, suggested routes were chosen in conformance to the route design recommendations outlined in the most recent One Green City report. Many recommendations have their basis in the AT Study, but many others come from user's personal experience, trail group discoveries, recent announcements and common sense.

Note, also, that the One Green City map, in many ways, represents the minimum amount of routes required to make a useful network. It is also mindful of the practicalities of network implementation. Major infrastructure projects are recommended sparingly. There are many other handy routes that, with available time and money, would make worthwhile additions to the map.

Many people have made suggestions that have been included in the map to date. They have been sorted and either discarded or included, depending on their usefulness and practicality. Soon a Wiki-based feedback system will be in place, giving you the chance to coment / help with route design. In the meantime, why not read up on possible design solutions or some experiences from other cities?

Active Transportation design has often relied heavily on user/community input, as most professional transportation infrastructure literature is written for the omnipresent automobile. This is your chance to help.
