Abstract

The Grand Concourse forms an extensive network of pedestrian walks linking the cities of St. John's and Mount Pearl and the Town of Paradise, Newfoundland. Considerable planning for the Concourse has resulted in a 120 kilometre long system of walks and supporting services which successfully integrates park spaces, historic street-scapes of the urban core along with the municipal transit system and the existing pedestrian trail network. While more than 60 kilometres of new walks have been required to create the Concourse, improvements along the entire length have also involved substantial park upgrading along with interpretation and promotional efforts. The Grand Concourse is a 120 kilometre long system of walks and supporting services, extending throughout the St. John's urban region. This project was submitted for the 2003 Sustainable Urban Transportation Award.
