About the Project
The Strathcona Regional District is developing a Parks and Trails Plan for Electoral Area D (Oyster Bay - Buttle Lake). This plan will guide future improvements and investments in parks, trails, and active transportation, with the goal of creating a well-connected network of park spaces and movement corridors.
A key component of this plan is the integration of an Active Transportation Network Plan to improve connections between key destinations with the goal of enhancing accessibility and mobility for all residents and visitors.
Project Update
In August-September of 2025, we gathered your input to help us understand what matters most to the community to ensure the delivery of parks, trails and active transportation meet the community’s vision. We hosted an in-person open house, held a pop-up outside Discovery Foods in Oyster River, held a series of workshops with interest-holders and hosted an online survey.
Based on the feedback received, we have developed a proposed Active Transportation Network Plan (ATNP) for Electoral Area D. Development of the ATNP also includes identifying one priority project to be advanced to a ‘shovel-ready’ stage. For more information on the project and the proposed network, please see the presentation below.
