Construction: September to December 2021
The City is constructing Palmer Trail Phase 2, located east of Centennial Drive in the corridor between Heathfield Drive and Mainway. This is a multi-use recreational trail that will connect to the section previously constructed, between Upper Middle Road and Heathfield Drive.
The new trail will include:
- A three-metre-wide paved surface
- Gradual slopes at less than four per cent
- Benches
- Garbage can
- Bollards and curb ramps at intersections
- Trees
- A trailhead sign
For your safety, the area will be closed during construction.
ICIP Funding
A portion of this project is funded by the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) from the Provincial and Federal governments.
About ICIP
In August 2020 the Federal Government announced adjustments to the ICIP program to help provinces and territories and ultimately municipalities to deal with the financial pressures brought on by COVID-19. This new stream of funding is designed to deliver more infrastructure projects during the pandemic by increasing the types of eligible projects and accelerating approvals.
