The Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan (PCMP): Salt Spring Island Edition recognizes the area’s unique character and transportation context. It also outlines the current and desired level of development consistent with the vision used in developing the network for the Regional PCMP and previous bicycle planning efforts on the island. This plan acknowledges transit’s integral role in ensuring the success of an active transportation strategy and includes considerations such as:
- Appropriately planning for expected demand
- Providing connections between active transportation and transit networks
- Providing appropriate facilities at transit destinations and stops
- Creating convenient pedestrian and cycle access to transit destinations and stop
- Accommodating a wide range of pedestrians and cyclists in the design of transit destinations and stops
The plan considers the needs of pedestrians and cyclists through the concept of universal design. Its goal is to provide familiar and safe environment for both in urban and rural communities across the region.
