Active transportation is any form of human powered transportation including walking, biking, using a wheelchair, inline skating, and the list goes on.
Did you know that the City of Williams Lake has an Active Transportation Committee?
It is composed of members from Community Policing, Interior Health, City of Williams Lake, Air Quality Initiative, the Williams Lake Central Business Improvement Area Association, and community volunteers.
Their goal is to improve conditions for active transportation while making Williams Lake a safer and healthier environment for all.
Members of this committee volunteered their time securing a grant which will improve the Carson Drive and Highway 97 intersection with safe active transportation routes and features in mind.
On April 9, 2016 the Active Transportation Committee is organizing a forum to work with the community to identify projects and goals aimed at reducing barriers and identifying opportunities for active transportation in Williams Lake.
Leading up to the forum we are encouraging all members of the public to complete a short, online survey to develop and focus forum topics, and to clarify community opinions and concerns.
Please follow this link to the survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JRQKG9L.
All members of the community are encouraged to fill out the survey and attend the free forum.
