Priority active transportation connections
Project Stage
About the Project
The road network cannot support all the anticipated growth on its own. Highways, interchanges, and rail corridors are often major barriers to connected pedestrian and cycling networks. Key investments are needed to fill these gaps, better (re)connect communities and improve access to important destinations. Travel patterns throughout the Region today are more complex and continued growth requires new infrastructure that expands multi-modal travel options.
Benefits
- Better connects communities
- Improves access to important destinations
- Improves safety and predictability
FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 1.2.4: Construct priority AT connections across 100-series highways and other significant barriers.
Highways, interchanges, and rail corridors are often major barriers to connected pedestrian and cycling networks. Key investments are needed to fill these gaps, better (re)connect communities and improve access to important destinations. Project examples include connections across Highway 102 near Dunbrack Street and the community of Millbrook, Highway 111 near Portland Street and Main Street, and crossing the South End Rail Cut at Bayers Road.
