The District of Summerland is asking community members to share their ideas to help update Summerland’s Transportation Plan.
The District of Summerland is asking community members to share their ideas to help update Summerland’s Transportation Plan.
The Summerland Transportation Plan outlines the vision, goals and projects for the community’s transportation network. It includes projects that help ensure we can safely and easily walk, bike, roll, take transit, drive, park and move goods around Summerland.
Since the last Transportation Plan was written in 2007, Summerland’s transportation needs have changed. It’s time for the plan to be updated to reflect the community’s evolving priorities and new ways to travel.
Throughout the development of the new Summerland Transportation Plan, there will be extensive consultation and communication with the public and key stakeholders. The first round of community engagement will take place this month to gather information about how community members move around Summerland and key challenges, opportunities and priorities for transportation.
“The way we move around our community, whether we walk, bike, roll, drive or take transit, is a huge part of our daily lives. We need community members to share how they move around Summerland and help us understand potential challenges and opportunities to create a Transportation Plan that serves the needs of our community now and in the future.”
– Doug Holmes, Mayor of Summerland
