Phase 1 public engagement

Engagement on the Trail Network Plan

Work on the Trail Network Plan began in the spring of 2023 and is expected to be completed in early 2025. Community engagement will take place in two phases. In the fall of 2023, we focused on informing the public about the project and seeking input on public aspirations and concerns for the trail network.

Phase 1:

In September/October 2023, we asked for your thoughts on the current network of trails in Port Moody and how it could be improved:

• we collected location-specific feedback and recommendations via an interactive map;
• we hosted two trailhead pop-up events in September at Bert Flinn Park and the along the Shoreline Trail; and
• we collected input via a community survey open from August 30 to October 4, 2023.

The Phase 1 public engagement summary (see item 7.6 in the Council meeting agenda package) was shared with Council on January 9, 2024.

Youth engagement: On May 31, 2024, the City hosted a Youth Open House, an engagement opportunity for youth to provide input on three parks/trails planning projects: Rocky Point Park and Old Orchard Park Master Plans, Parkland Strategy, and Trail Network Plan. City staff presented a summary of engagement results at the Regular Council Meeting on July 23, 2024. See item 7.6 in the July 23 agenda package to view staff’s report and the attached youth engagement summary.
