Transportation for Tomorrow

The District of Lake Country's Active Transportation Vision is "Getting around Lake Country in safe and enjoyable ways" and is linked to the overall transportation goals in the Official Community Plan (OCP):

Create a multi-modal transportation network to provide a range of transportation options;
Provide a safe and efficient transportation network;
Minimize the environmental impact of the transportation network; and
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the District transportation network.

In order for the Active Transportation vision and the OCP transportation goals to succeed they must be considered in context of the overall management of the District's roadway network. Find out more about the Transportation for Tomorrow plan.
