What we support
RethinkTheTrail is supportive of building effective, safe, and well-designed alternative modes of transportation in our community and throughout the Town of Tecumseh. In fact, connectivity is very important to our group. To be very clear, we are not against active transportation modes.
- We support the County Wide Active Transportation System (CWATS) and its mandate to link seven Essex County municipalities with an 800-kilometer active transportation network.
- We support the best practices published by the Province of Ontario in its' CycleON Action Plan 1.0 and 2.0 (2018).
- We support the best practices, standards, and policies published by the Ontario Traffic Council and its Traffic Manual Book 18.
