UPDATES
BACKGROUND
As part of this project the existing crossing at River avenue has reached its service life and is becoming a hazard to vehicle traffic due to the rough surface. The existing rubber product will be replaced with pre-cast concrete to improve the crossing. In addition, there is currently no pedestrian link on the East side of River avenue through the CPR right-of-way which will be enhanced to provide more connectivity.
BUDGET
$820,000

This project improves the crossings and provides a pedestrian link on the East side of River avenue providing more connectivity.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This project supports Council's priority of improving, planning and advocating for local and regional pathway networks that connect all communities.
