PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Williams Lake is developing an Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) to create a complete and comfortable active transportation network for people of all ages and abilities, making it easier and safer for you to get around by walking, cycling, rolling.
Active transportation plays an important role in enhancing our community’s health, environment, and quality of life, ensuring community members can connect to destinations safely by walking, cycling, and rolling.
Through collaboration with community members, the Active Transportation Network Plan will help make decisions and prioritize investments for active transportation programs and infrastructure. The Plan will help unlock access to funding programs and cost-sharing opportunities.
The Plan will be developed over four phases and will be completed by Spring 2025. Throughout the planning process, there will be various opportunities for community members to participate and provide input.
The City is working with Fraser Basin Council and Urban Systems to develop this grant-funded project.

We are now in Phase 3 of the Active Transportation Network Plan project. The first two phases included understanding existing conditions and engaging with community members and stakeholders to better understand active transportation opportunities and issues in the city.
