Whycocomagh Active Transportation Planning Engagement

The Municipality has recently launched a new project. The Whycocomagh Active Transportation and Detailed Design Plan will improve mobility for residents and visitors in Whycocomagh, reflecting the Municipality’s vision of a vibrant, sustainable community where active transportation is safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.

Currently, the design of Main Street and Highway 105 prioritizes vehicles, limiting opportunities for active transportation. The project covers the area from Whycocomagh Provincial Park at 9780

Highway 105 to where Highway 105 meets the Skye River, including the entire Main Street corridor and the intersections of nearby streets.

By introducing thoughtfully designed infrastructure that balances all modes of transportation and prioritizes inclusion, the final plan will improve safety and comfort for active transportation users, and establish a distinct sense of place reflecting Whycocomagh’s unique character and identity as a hub for outdoor adventure.

The Municipality is advancing this planning work in partnership with a community group and has hired two consulting firms Englobe and UPLAND to undertake the design, which will be informed by community consultation.

Please note that the successful implementation of the project will be dependent on securing the necessary funding.

Community input will be at the heart of this project, and there will be many opportunities to get involved. To learn more and share your initial thoughts, please visit https://speakupland.ca/whycocomagh-at-plan
