About the Project
This project will construct three roadside pathways at various locations throughout the City of Lethbridge.
Background
The City of Lethbridge completed the Bikes and Pathways Master Plan in March 2007, which was subsequently endorsed by City Council in the Summer of 2007. The Master Plan has proposed a bike and pathway classification and has identified a number of corridors for bikeways and pathways developed in the City of Lethbridge. These pathways are part of the implementation plan to the system and will complete missing links in the City’s pathway network.
Scope
The scope of the work includes design and tendering of the pathways. Amec Foster Wheeler has been hired to complete this task. Construction will follow and is planned for Spring 2015 start.
Deliverables
Detailed Design and Construction of three pathway segments:
Scenic Drive Pathway (Active)
- Adjacent to Scenic Drive (west side of the road), from 1st Avenue South to 9th Avenue North
- 3 metre wide asphalt multi-use pathway
- Completes a missing link in the regional pathway system between north and south Lethbridge
- Includes a pedestrian crossing complete with flashing lights at the Scenic Drive off-ramp to 5th Avenue North
