We've been busy... a few short weeks after releasing the Spur-Line, we're so excited to share our latest publication, filled to the brim with dreamy #yycbike and #yycwalk content: The Neighbourhood Active Transportation Network Policy Proposal, or NATN! 1/

"Bike lanes are about more than bikes. They can be part of building a more equitable city. To achieve this potential, traditionally siloed discussions about transport., housing, urban design, race and inequality need to be part of the same conversation." bit.ly/33sSFke

So - #yycbudget2021 talks are happening next week, and we’ve decided to make today “Hidden Costs Day”. Thread 1/

1/2 When Sustainable Calgary began the participatory planning process with Marlborough, catwalks were quickly identified as an important part of the community’s pedestrian network. A quick google search will prove this. When you use these handy short cuts, Bob Edwards School to..

We're so excited to have participated in consultation that led to the creation of the @CIP_ICU Healthy Communities Policy! Read it here to find out more about the role planners play in the health, well-being & quality of life of Canadians. #rqvanc #yyc bit.ly/2Bu6gJl

bit.ly/2QPnudw We work with communities in this area to make the pedestrian realm better. Perhaps why the underpass was so rarely used was influenced by design & safety, not a lack of need. These #yyc areas need better, more equitable infrastructure. #yycwalk #yycplan

Looking to be insprired into 2019 & beyond? Then join us on Nov 30 & Dec 1 as we take a close look at the future of #yyc - What role do #yycca's play? What's our air quality like? How affordable is housing? Tix on Eventbrite bit.ly/2DAD2L9 #yycevents

Spotted 👀: pedestrians being good for business #yycwalk #yycbike #yyc

Pretty fool proof argument for better #activetransportation infrastructure 👍🚴‍♀️🚶 #yycwalk #yycbike #yyccc

This is an especially important time to engage with the city. Read closely to see how streets, public transit & other items are affected by the budget. Step Forward will be implemented, while investment in Main Streets and Complete Streets will be reduced #yyccc #yycwalk #yycbike

"Increased walking, biking, and transit are all listed in the recommendations of the 1,000-page UN report, but “Equal Safe Access to Educational Institutions” is specifically listed as a particularly low-risk/high-reward climate action." #yycwalk #yycbike #ClimateChange

This is brilliant, and should be a greater part of our #yyc #activetransportation infrastructure! Let's make Calgary a winter city for all and use the simple technology available to us to do so. #yyccc #yycwalk #yycbike

Saw some good work on #yyc pathways (thanks #yyccc for the budget increase!) but crosswalks were woefully snowy. What about fellow Calgarians who need greater accessibility? Let's make Calgary a winter city for all & keep these crosswalks clear! #yycwalk #yycbike #yycsnow

#Activetransportation doesn't have to be biking or walking. In a winter city like #yyc, you have to get creative. #yycbike #yycwalk #yycski

When one of our folks moved to Calgary from Victoria, they found it hard to find an affordable home in walking distance to groceries, LRT & amenities. Being active could be a part of our daily lives but the brick & mortar of our cities must allow for it #yyc #yycwalk

Catwalks are basically secret passageways through our communities! So why not go on an adventure through them? Join us September 15 in Marlborough for a Catwalk Scavenger Hunt from 1 - 3. Details below 🐈🔍🗺️

Before, these catwalks were overgrown with grass & filled with garbage & shopping carts. But over the last two months, Marlborough community members have turned these secret shortcuts into safe, beautiful pathways that take kids to their schools, parks & beyond.
