The City of Grande Prairie has announced its 2024 Sidewalk Improvement Program will commence on July 2nd.
According to the city, the focus this year is on upgrading sidewalks to meet “modern standards,” with an emphasis on small residential streets in particular.
Officials say the program includes the replacement of sidewalks deemed “outdated” and installing new curbs and gutters, along with asphalt patching, landscaping, and driveway repairs.
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton calls the program an “important component” of the city’s ongoing efforts to build a more accessible community for residents.
“These improvements will not only enhance pedestrian mobility but also create safer routes for residents while promoting active transportation options,” she says.
Residents are urged to use caution and remain vigilant in and around construction zones, adhering to all posted traffic control measures to ensure their safety and the safety of workers.
