Recommendations

Overall, the proposed Bow Corridor Regional Mobility Strategy gives governmental organizations, private sector businesses, residents and non-governmental organizations a framework within which to discuss and work together on the implementation of appropriate mobility solutions for the Bow Corridor in the short, medium and long term.

Based on an extensive review of Best Practices , the Strategy incorporates

• a focus on mobility, as well as on access and parking;

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (examples include advance variable messaging and greater use of the Internet); and

• Travel Demand Management (examples include encouraging off-peak use, smarter use of existing infrastructure and new choices in travel mode).

The key to successful management of mobility issues in the Bow Corridor will be collaboration between all of the stakeholders. The central recommendation is therefore a Bow Smart Mobility Partnership, involving government organizations as well as the private and voluntary sectors. Highlights of the Partnership include

• a single voice based on shared vision, policies and standards;

• partners operating individually as well as in concert when warranted;

• partners sharing revenues and costs in appropriate cases;

• partners jointly overseeing design and implementation of more intensive solutions; and

• partners jointly gathering data on relevant performance indicators, and updating the Bow Smart Mobility Plan every 5 years.

A total of 44 Strategic Elements have been suggested as short, medium or long-term solutions. They are tailored to local as well as regional needs, and are designed to optimize future options involving different degrees of complexity and sophistication. Nearly all solutions require cooperation between stakeholders and/or different levels of government. Other solutions entail changes in the way existing infrastructure is utilized and some may entail policy changes. Throughout, an emphasis has been placed on increasing mobility choices, especially information services, systems to facilitate pedestrian and wildlife movement, and networks to encourage alternate transportation modes such as bicycles and shuttle services.
