Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 18, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
Laying the Foundation for AT Infrastructure in Nova Scotia is about supporting smaller communities, with limited staff and resources, in beginning the process of drafting active transportation plans and identifying shovel-worthy projects for future development. The project will consist of 3 initiatives: 1) Nova Scotia's Active Transportation Future is an ArcGIS web app that presents the state of active transportation planning across the province at-a-glance. 2) Roadmaps to AT Plans is a stakeholder engagement program that will meet with municipal staff, band councils, elected officials, community members and groups to identify barriers and next steps to drafting AT plans in 1-2 communities. 3) How to Engage with Public Engagement will develop educational materials that demystify the common transportation planning workflow, set realistic expectations of information available at each stage, and provide curated tools and resources for communicating design ideas visually without needing any prior experience.
