The Plan proposes the following orientations:
Support the development of ‘Capital Discovery Routes’ linking existing resources
(national institutions) using the parkway and recreational pathway networks;
Encourage a broader scope of events in the appropriate locations;
Develop sites according to their potential in keeping with their capacity, character
and vocation (Spirit of place);
Reinforce the role of parkways as ‘places’ and ‘destinations’ as opposed to
throughways.
And the following guidelines:
As a priority, consolidate sites that are already developed and accessible by various
means of transportation;
Develop a comprehensive policy to provide a balance between uses and the ‘Capital
signature’, leading to an increased coherence between sites and activities;
Offer activities that are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood;
Provide basic services to ‘Capital Discovery Route’ users;
Promote cultural experiences based on archaeological resources while ensuring
their protection for future generations;
Support the creation of leisure areas, recreation areas, gathering places and picnic
areas along the parkways, and provide access to these sites
