The ATTMP is being prepared to identify and develop an effective approach to promoting active transportation and trail use across all parts of the Township. Active Transportation is broadly defined as all forms of transportation that are powered directly by you, including: walking, running, cycling or rolling. Foundational to the ATTMP is a prescribed network of integrated on-road and off-road (trail) facilities which enable active transportation users to travel between key destinations safely, conveniently and seamlessly. The Plan will also focus on identifying ways to improve existing trail access through new on-road and off-road links. Additionally, the ATTMP will identify a suite of educational and promotional programs that increase active transportation’s profile and cultural presence within the community. Given the competitiveness of existing municipal finances, the ATTMP will also feature high-level costing and scheduling for all recommendations to guarantee their cost-effective and feasible delivery.

There are many ways to participate. Take our online survey and/or attend our virtual public open house. We look forward to hearing what you have to say! You can also email your comments about the plan to Dominique O’Brien, the Township’s Project Manager at dobrien@seguin.ca

Due to COVID-19 public health restrictions on public gatherings, opportunities for involvement will be available online, over the phone, or by mail; however, as public health directives evolve, in-person public consultations may be held.

The ATTMP will be presented to Council for adoption by November 2021.

The Township of Seguin ATTMP is a project for everyone. By coming together to create a vision for the Township’s active transportation and trails networks, we are developing a blueprint to effectively identify and support opportunities to be active, outdoors and travel without the use of a personal automobile. This benefits everyone in our communities by promoting healthier lifestyles, safer traffic environments, less strain on local roadways, improved local air quality and greater commerce through new tourist attractions.

Through the ATTMP, the Township seeks to identify an approach that effectively leverages active transportation to both enhance mobility and provide additional opportunities for recreation and exercise. An improved active transportation and trails system encourages healthier active lifestyles by offering new ways to access and exercise within the Township’s rich natural landscape. It also facilitates new ways to travel both within and between communities in Seguin, fostering greater social cohesion. These benefits not only extend to residents but visitors alike, making improved active transportation and trails facilities an asset to the Township’s established tourism sector.
