District of Kent Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP)

Project Overview

Active transportation plays an important role in enhancing community health, the environment, and economy, and ensures community members can safety move in and around Kent. The District of Kent is committed to providing facilities for people of all ages and abilities to safely walk, bike, and roll around our community.

The District of Kent has received funding in-part through the federal Active Transportation Fund to develop an Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP). With input from the community, the ATNP will establish a collective vision for active transportation in Kent and identify priority projects and locations for active transportation infrastructure. 

What is Active Transportation?

Active transportation is any human-powered mode of transportation such as walking, cycling, skateboarding, or using a mobility aid, like a wheelchair. Other new and emerging transportation modes such as e-scooters and e-bikes can also fit in this category and may use the same trails and pathways.

What is an active transportation network plan?

An Active Transportation Network Plan is a strategic document that lays out the District’s vision and objectives for improving active transportation within Kent. The purpose of the ATNP is to identify gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network, improve the experience for people walking, biking, and rolling, and provide a roadmap for priority improvements over the short-, medium-, and long-term. The final ATNP could include recommended improvements to the following:

  • Infrastructure such as sidewalks, trails, bicycle lanes, and multi-use pathways
  • Amenities such as signage, seating, bike parking, and lighting
  • Education and programming such as trail and pathway etiquette, bike to work week, and safety

The project process will begin in the Fall of 2022 and will be completed in September 2023, with a range of engagement activities and opportunities to provide feedback.

Have Your Say

Input from community members will form the foundation of this project. The District wants to hear from a range of voices to create an ATNP that is inclusive and forward-thinking. All opinions are welcome - lets work together to improve how you and your family travel in Kent.

Community Survey

The District is seeking community input to better understand active transportation opportunities and issues in Kent, as well as future priorities. The results of the survey will help to inform the ATNP’s goals and recommendations. The deadline to complete the survey is December 16, 2022.

Those who complete the survey will have the chance to be entered into a prize draw for a $50 gift card to a local shop.
