Sharing your ideas
We’ve made sharing your ideas easy. The only guideline we ask is that you try to be as specific as possible on the exact location of your proposed route. By pinpointing exact locations we are able to accurately survey the potential routes you identify.

Draw on the map the route you would like to see. This could also highlight an old road or paths that could be redeveloped to provide better access. Any route that reduces the need for car travel is exactly what we are looking for.
You can print the map and draw your route by hand or you can use your computer. Feel free to highlight any areas of interest, community hubs, or potential hazards on your proposed route.
Once you’ve completed your drawing – take a picture/scan of it and email or post it to us.
