A healthy community provides opportunities… For people to walk and cycle to work. For children to be able to walk and bike safely to school. To be connected to parks, other neighbourhoods and trails. To enjoy the natural environment such as water, farmland and green space. To have access to healthy foods that are fresh and affordable in every neighbourhood. To have sidewalks, pathways, trails and bike lanes that are inviting, accessible, safe and connected to amenities and public transit. For connection to community gathering places. Has sufficient density for these.
