A Photo Study on Potential Options to Integrate the new Cranbrook to Kimberley Rails to Trails with Cranbrook’s existing trail infrastructure
Highlights the Need for a Community Connection Access Options Analyzing the option considerations
![Page 3: The Cranbrook Access Options to new Rails Trails](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110114/5478f135b4af9f7a688b462b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Need for a Cranbrook Community Connection
Cranbrook's most popular and accessible community trail, the Rotary Way needs to be integrated with the Cranbrook to Kimberley Rail Trail
Self propelled users to access the rail trail would have to utilize current roads and highways
Cranbrook families would have to drive and park to gain access to the rails to trails trailhead
Existing options are therefore not environmentally friendly, safe, and are not promoting principles of Active Transportation. Options would not be conducive to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle
