• The TransCanada Highway serves as a primary access route for all categories of vehicular traffic entering the Bow Corridor. It therefore represents the first opportunity to manage traffic using the Corridor. Broad measures that influence parking and congestion throughout the entire area, as well as wildlife movements, can be applied on the TransCanada Highway.

• Through traffic must be given a high priority in any regional mobility strategy because of the important role the TransCanada Highway plays as a transcontinental trade route. One third of the total human transportation in the Bow Corridor is traffic that passes through the Corridor.

• Two thirds of the total traffic has a destination inside the Bow Corridor. The destinations represent the next opportunity to apply traffic controls. Specific measures that are uniquely tailored to local circumstances can be applied at various destination points to enhance the mobility of both people and animals.

• Pressures that restrict mobility are occurring at different points and within different timeframes throughout the Bow Corridor. Some pressure points are immediate; others will become critical within the next 10 years.

• No single solution addresses all mobility pressures within the Corridor. A combination of different solutions is required at various locations throughout the Corridor in order to absorb or manage the major types and modes of transportation traffic in the Bow Corridor without negatively affecting ecological integrity. Furthermore, because pressures restricting mobility are occurring and will occur within different time frames throughout the Corridors, appropriate solutions need to be introduced incrementally on an as-needed basis.

x Everyone must be part of the solution. Four types of government — federal, provincial, municipal and First Nations — and several departments within each government have a role to play with respect to human and wildlife mobility issues in the Bow Corridor. In addition, a broad range of private sector businesses, residents and non-governmental organizations have a direct interest in these issues. No single jurisdiction, organization or individual can implement all of the various solutions required to enhance the movement of people and animals throughout the Corridor. A collaborative effort involving all stakeholders must be engaged if an effective Regional Mobility Strategy is to succeed.
