The National Capital Commission has released the results of its 2006 review of the pathway network for the capital.
Here is the notice sent to the Greenspace Alliance mailing list by Elizabeth LaCoursière of the NCC:
Hello everyone,
The National Capital Commission (NCC) would like to inform you that the 2006 Strategic Plan for the National Capital Region Pathway Network is now available on the NCC website.

At the Poets' Pathway party/reading,  held on April 14,  we were lucky enough to have the eloquent Clive Doucet present.  He was persuaded to read some of his poems from Canal Seasons,  a book of poems inspired by  his rowing on the Rideau Canal.
To our delight, Mr. Doucet said that the Pathway was an idea whose time had come, and that he would present a motion to Ottawa City Council to work with the NCC on making the Pathway a reality.

Here's an inspirational story from the US Trust for Public Land (TPL) web site, about Atlanta's BeltLine Initiative:  "...a 22- mile ribbon of interconnected parks, trails, light-rail routes, and landscape friendly development encircling downtown..."
