Fernie Trails Master Plan

Council adopted the new Fernie Trails Master Plan on January 26, 2015.  Developed with public input, the plan provides a long-term strategy for successful provision of a community-wide trail network and includes recommendations on policy direction, trail development criteria, trail construction standards, costing and risk management. 

Goals of the FTMP are to promote improvements and expansion of efficient bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, provide a community-wide trail network with linkages to neighborhoods, schools, commercial areas, recreational hubs, parks and open spaces, trailheads and the Elk River.  Funding for this important community initiative was provided through the 2012-2016 Resort Development Strategy.  Residents are encouraged to take a read of the FTMP!
