Ribbon of Green Concept
The North Saskatchewan River Valley and Ravine System Concept Plan considers the river valley and ravine system a whole. The plan's aim is to establish publicly supported goals for the development and management of our Ribbon of Green.
The Ribbon of Green Concept Plan (1990)
- Proposes extending the present urban park to include the entire length of the river valley and ravine system.
- Divides the park into three land management zones: Preservation, Conservation and Extensive Use.
- Represents a balance between making the valley accessible for public use and protecting the natural landscape and wildlife areas.
- Proposes development of five major parks: Big Island, Terwillegar, Twin Brooks, Buena Vista, and Hermitage.
- Proposes a continuous trail system including construction of eight river crossing bridges and eventual link to adjacent municipalities.
