Creating Connections: Accessing the Harvest Moon Trail in Kings County, Nova Scotia

EF 2024-25 · 2025-02-24

Résumé
Our project is to enhance trailheads and access points to the Harvest Moon Trail in Kings County. There could be more uptake if more communities could access the trail closer to their neighbourhood. The project aims to expand park and ride opportunity to attract residents and visitors alike to access the trail, while formalizing additional access points so people can access the trail and use it to connect to where they live, work, learn and play. Specifically, we are seeking to ensure ease of access to key destinations, including: Schools, Major employers, Adjoining subdivisions, Wineries and breweries, Restaurants and cafés, Healthcare and social services, and Service centres. However, because of the population distribution of Kings County, some residents opt to take part in the park and ride, or park and walk opportunities. Parking along the Harvest Moon Trail facilitates multi-modal trips and reduces car use by allowing drivers to hop out and walk, roll or bike along the trail or to nearby amenities.

Description (French)
Notre projet vise à améliorer les points de départ et d’accès du sentier Harvest Moon dans le comté de Kings. Le nombre d’adeptes pourrait augmenter si davantage de collectivités pouvaient accéder au sentier plus près de leur quartier. Le projet vise à élargir les possibilités de parc-o-bus pour attirer les résidents et les visiteurs vers le sentier, tout en officialisant des points d’accès supplémentaires pour que les gens puissent accéder au sentier et l’utiliser pour se connecter à leur lieu de vie, de travail, d’apprentissage et de loisirs. Plus précisément, nous cherchons à assurer la facilité d’accès aux destinations clés, notamment : les écoles, les principaux employeurs, les lotissements adjacents, les établissements vinicoles et les brasseries, les restaurants et les cafés, les services de santé et les services sociaux, et les centres de services. Cependant, en raison de la répartition de la population du comté de Kings, certains résidents choisissent de profiter des possibilités de parcage et de transport ou de parcage et de marche. Le stationnement le long du Harvest Moon Trail facilite les déplacements multimodaux et réduit l’utilisation de la voiture en permettant aux conducteurs de sortir et de marcher, rouler ou faire du vélo le long du sentier ou vers les commodités à proximité.
