The city wants to get more people out of their cars and on their feet, walking to catch buses and the LRT and using "active transportation" to get around, says a report going to city councillors this week.
The report, called Walk Edmonton: Steps to a Walkable City, outlines ways the city could encourage walking. That includes better designing new neighbourhoods, building wide and smooth sidewalks with curb ramps, crosswalks and bus stop connections, running public-education campaigns, removing more snow from sidewalks, and building more densely developed neighbourhoods full of businesses and attractions that would give pedestrians reason to travel on foot.
