Glen Cairn Neighbourhood Connectivity Plan
About this project
As part of its commitment to providing safe, convenient and accessible mobility choices for all residents, City Council has directed staff to develop a “Neighbourhood Connectivity Plan” (NCP) for the Glen Cairn area. The plan will identify where new sidewalks can provide the most value.
Throughout the month of June 2022, City staff consulted with your community to get input to help shape your neighbourhood’s plan. Based on feedback from residents, and data and information from community partners, the project team has developed recommendations for where sidewalks and connectivity should be prioritized in your neighbourhood. To preview the NCP recommendations for Glen Cairn, see below for a map and supporting information.
