City construction crews will begin working at various locations throughout Grande Prairie beginning on September 25th, to level uneven sidewalks to enhance pedestrian safety.
This comes as the city continues addressing safety concerns throughout the city and the initiative will see raised sections of sidewalks ground down where height differences pose tripping hazards.
The city suggests that crews will be working on-site for several days to address “high-priority” areas. Officials maintain that the process is efficient, taking between 10 and 15 minutes at each location to minimize disruptions to pedestrians. Additionally, city administrators say vehicle traffic will not be affected as a result.
Residents are advised they may see workers in multiple areas throughout the process. Anyone with information about a sidewalk in need of repair near them is asked to contact AccessGP at 3-1-1.
