It’s been a busy month at Cycling NS and with our Core Active Transportation Networks Project!
Baddeck – Final Site Visit & Open House
We recently traveled to Baddeck for a final site visit with our consultants, C+D Community Design. During our time there, we explored key areas of the community and examined additional design nuances that will be incorporated into our final designs.
Additionally, we hosted an Open House on March 8th at the BOLD Centre, where community members had the opportunity to review the draft designs and speak with us in person. You can check out the presentation boards above here -> https://blueroute.ca/village-of-baddeck-core-at-networks-partner/
