We're looking for your feedback on the draft map for the Downtown Trail Plan!
Building on the 2020 Trail Plan, and other planning documents, we're developing a neighbourhood-level Downtown Trail Plan. In 2024, the Transportation Master Plan was completed, which includes the proposed paved trail development in Downtown and Marwell as displayed on the Downtown Trail Plan map. In coming years, the City will also initiate both a Marwell South Master Plan and Riverfront Plan to create modernized planning frameworks for future use and management of these areas, while integrating existing planning efforts.
When completed, the Downtown Trail Plan will show the network of existing and planned City Trails. A key aspect of the Plan is the application of the different trail designations to trails in the network. Please view the glossary on this page for descriptions of each trail designation.
The objective of the plan is to create a coherent and sustainable trail network that provides amazing recreation and active transportation opportunities for the community and visitors. We are looking for input on how you use the Downtown area trails, as well as your feedback on the draft version of the Downtown Trail Plan. Help us ensure that the Whitehorse Downtown Trail Plan reflects the community’s needs and aspirations for trails. Let us know what you think!
You can provide your input via our online survey (availableuntil February 26), and/or attend our drop-in open house at the Frank Slim Building at Shipyards Park (100 Ogilvie Street) on February 19 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. You may also send feedback by email with the subject line “Downtown Trail Plan” to trails@whitehorse.ca.
