The Halifax Urban Greenway is an exciting urban multipurpose trail that will run through part of District 14. Visit their website for more information. The Active Transportation Committee is a new council committee - if you are interested in learning more about the committee please visit its web page or view the Active Transportation Plan (a large file). For more information about trails, visit the Halifax Regional Trails Assocation.
Promoting walking in our community includes increasing pedestrian safety and making the links between walking and healthy lifestyles. The Neighbourhood Pace Car Program is an excellent way to make a commitment to drive safely and to promote safe driving in our neighbourhoods (http://saferoutesns.ca/index.php/special/pacecar/).
Resources that support walking include the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Walkabout Program (http://www.walkaboutns.ca/default.aspx) and maps and information on trails (http://www.halifax.ca/rec/Walking.html). Recent policy initiatives that support walking at Regional Council are available at http://halifax.ca/council/agendasc/documents/100323ca1114.pdf
