Castlegar - Nelson Active Transportation Corridor Survey

Nelson – Castlegar Active Transportation Corridor Vision Plan Survey

The West Kootenay Cycling Coalition, with support from the Active Transportation Fund through the Regional District of Central Kootenay, is undertaking an Active Transportation Corridor Vision Plan (ATCVP) to assess the feasibility of a year-round, inclusive, and accessible multi-use pathway for both commuting and recreational purposes, connecting the cities of Castlegar and Nelson generally along the alignment of Highway 3A & the Kootenay River.

The 45-kilometre active transportation route is envisioned to strengthen local active transportation networks by providing a regional connection that is safe, accessible, and inclusive. The plan considers connections to other significant regional trails such as the Columbia and Western Rail trail, Slocan Valley Rail trail, and the Great Northern Rail Trail.

This survey seeks your valuable input to help shape a safe, accessible, and inclusive route that enhances connectivity, supports health and wellbeing, and promotes active transportation tourism.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes, and all responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. The survey will be open until 11:59pm on May 13th, 2024 Thank you for your time and participation!

This survey is intended to be anonymous. Please do not provide your name, address or any other personal information that directly or indirectly identifies yourself and/or others. No comments received will be attributed to any individuals and feedback collected will be aggregated into themes for transportation planning purposes.
