Lac La Ronge Indian Band

Published purpose

The La Ronge Safe Active Transportation and Pedestrian Safety Plan (ATPSP) will address gaps in the trail network and provide a strategy for the development of a healthy, safe, and enjoyable trail and multi-use pathway network throughout the reserve Lac La Ronge #156 and Kitsaki #156B. The purpose of the ATPSP will be to: • Develop a strategy for Lac La Ronge to prioritize the development of safe and intuitive multi-use pathway connections between key destinations within the community and to the neighbouring communities. • Create a baseline inventory of where members live, their main destinations they commute to, informal desire paths, and areas accessible by walking compared to areas accessible by driving. • Identify and recognize community priorities around multi-use pathways, roadway design with pedestrians in mind, and safety considerations. • Inform future development, design, and connectivity of new subdivisions on reserve lands. • Identify a priority project that LLRIB can construct in the years following through capital funding. To support the ATPSP, the Lac La Ronge Lands Committee and a Project Management Team (PMT) would be created for this project specifically. The PMT would be comprised of relevant stakeholders, including elected officials, lands staff, infrastructure and housing staff, a youth representative, and an Elder representative. The community will be involved throughout the project through community engagement events both in-person and virtually.
