Pathway/Bikeway Planning Openhouse Subject: Stakeholder Representation Hello to all stakeholders: Last year you participated in the Calgary Pathway and Bikeway Plan, a joint initiative of the City of Calgary's Transportation and Parks departments. The final draft of the study is now complete and will be presented to committee in June and to City Council in July for approval. The study has already enjoyed some success, as it was granted an Award of Excellence by the Alberta Association of the Canadian Institute of Planners. As a follow up to last year's project, a full route analysis for northeast and northwest Calgary is being prepared. Once again IBI Group has been retained as the consultant to facilitate the project. Key tasks associated with the project are as follows: * testing proposed NE and NW pathway and bikeway routes, including links to routes outside the city; * identifying gaps in the network, and prioritizing areas needing action. We are using a participatory process for this phase, and invite you again to take part in the project as a stakeholder representative for your department or organization. If you cannot be involved, we would be happy to have another representative from your group take part. Stakeholder involvement will entail initial issue identification, liaison with your organization, participation in one or both workshops, and consultations as necessary. Key dates for the public participation program are as follows:
I can be contacted by phone: 270-5627, fax: 270-5610, or e-mail: cathy_a@ibigroup-calgary.com. We look forward to carrying out another successful project, with your input and contributions.
