Introduction
A four meter wide off-road multi-use pathway has been designed for Casorso and Barrera Roads between Gordon Dr. and Lakeshore Rd. The 800 metre pathway will be constructed on the north side and will connect Gordon Dr. and Lakeshore Rd. pathway corridors.

Public Consultation

More than 80 residents attended an open house in February to provide their feedback on the preliminary design. The proposed multi-use pathway was well recieved. 

A public information session was held on June 2, 2010 at St. Paul's Church for residents to view the final design drawings (4.8MB)pdf icon and learn the schedule of construction.

Project Schedule

Construction: July 2010
Contractor: Hayter Construction Ltd.
Consultant: MMM Group and Site 360
Cost: $1.4 million

The City was successful in receiving 50 per cent of the funding from the provincial government's LocalMotionexternal_link_12.png program.

Background

In keeping with the City's vision for an active transportation network throughout the city, the Casorso Road and Barrera pathway will provide a healthy & green mode of transportation for all users of all ages and all abilities.

The City is developing a series of multi-use pathways and sidewalks that lend to sustainable cycling and pedestrian oriented infrastructure. These will link key areas of the city and connect neighbourhoods, town centres, parks and schools.
