Trail rehabilitation projects are scheduled to begin on May 6th across the City of Grande Prairie in an effort to improve accessibility and recreation for residents.
The 2024 program will see numerous sites reconstructed and rehabilitated throughout the summer, the first being on the West side of 102nd Street from 120th Ave to 124th Avenue on May 6th, followed by the West side of 101st Street from 111th Avenue to 115th Avenue on May 17th, the Utility lot trail leading to Maude Clifford School on June 27th, Cyril Clarke Park in O’Brien Lake on July 5th, and lastly on the Muskoseepi Park trails south of Michaelis Boulevard on August 21st.
The city says the trails identified will require “intermittent” closures as needed; however, signage and alternative paths will be used where possible.
City of Grande Prairie Capital Construction Supervisor Mark Hoseasson says keeping trails enjoyable and safe is his department’s “top priority” with the long-term goal of improving city trails that last for years to come.
“We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation,” he says.
The work being done on trails will consist of reconstruction that addresses accessibility concerns, improved connectivity, and upgrades that hope to promote active lifestyles among residents and convenient access to amenities.
