UPDATE - November 10, 2022

The City of Revelstoke is pleased to provide the DRAFT Transportation Master Plan for the community to review and provide comment. Please direct all comments to TMP@revelstoke.ca by December 1st, 2022.

To access the Draft Transportation Master Plan documents, please click here.


In short, the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) focuses on the future of the City's roadway network which includes driving lanes, parking areas, transit services and stops, cycling routes, sidewalks or roadside paths, and alternative mobility solutions. While the TMP considers the location of off-street trails for connectivity purposes, it does not extend recommendations into park spaces; a separate Parks and Recreation Master Plan update is currently underway which will address trails within park spaces.

Purpose

The purpose of the TMP is to address key transportation issues, meet current community needs, review the viability of outstanding recommendations from previous plans, and propose implementable projects to help the City manage future growth.

Process

The new Transportation Master Plan (TMP) will be informed by the existing TMP (2012), updated population and movement data, best practices for sustainability and climate change, changing community needs, new forms of transportation mobility, and the new Official Community Plan (OCP) which is currently underway.

Project Goals

  • Incorporate feedback received through the Official Community Plan engagement process.
  • Align with the OCP's updated vision and community priorities.
  • Include SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-specific).
  • Establish a general road hierarchy to guide the future update of the City's Subdivision, Development, and Servicing Bylaw.
  • Identify implementable projects that will improve the quality of life, safety, and mobility for residents and visitors.
  • Prioritize transportation improvements based on mobility needs and improve connectivity.

    Does the term “proposed multi user facility” actually include a dedicated pedestrian sidewalk? Specifically at Columbia Park school and Arrow Heights school?

    Jena Keenan asked almost 2 years ago

    Thank you for your question!

    There are two types of "multi-user facilities" shown on the Proposed Pedestrian Network map (click for full view):

    • Solid light blue lines indicate "Proposed Multi-User Paths" which are off-road. The term pathway is used because it is outside of the roadway.
    • Dashed light blue lines indicate "Proposed Multi-User Facilities" which are on-street. The term facility is used because it is within the roadway. These facilitates would be delineated by paint, symbols, signage, and potentially some physical forms of traffic separation like flexible bollard posts; and be used by both pedestrians and cyclists.


    As described in the survey when discussing sidewalks and walkways, and during the public engagement events, it is important to recognize that sidewalks require stormwater drainage infrastructure (i.e., curb, gutter, catch basins). Unfortunately, both of the sites you mentioned in your question, the Columbia Park and Arrow Heights schools, do not have existing storm drainage infrastructure which makes the installation of sidewalks very expensive. For this reason, the Draft Future Needs Plan is proposing a Multi-User Facility, essentially an on-street multi-user space within the roadway, as an alternative to a sidewalk. 


    Looking for your feedback:

    During the engagement events, we were able to speak with many folks about this proposed approach and appreciate any feedback you may have. Please share your thoughts with us through the survey.
