District of Squamish adopted the Active Transportation Plan in 2016 with an aim to increase transportation options in the community.
The plan also aims to provide an accessible, sustainable and efficient transportation system for all users, including commuter cycling, walking, wheelchairs, scooters, walkers and strollers.
Expanding and enhancing the sidewalk and bike network direction, enhancing north-south, and east-west connectivity for walking and biking, improving road safety and enhancing wayfinding, signage and trip planning are some other key elements of the plan.
