Calgary, Alberta, January 12, 2022-Today, George Chahal, Member of Parliament for Calgary Skyview, announced a federal investment of more than $1.3 million to improve active transportation infrastructure in Calgary's Dover neighbourhood.
With this funding, the City of Calgary will create an inclusive walking and wheeling network in the community. The upgrades will include new sidewalks, curb extensions, crosswalks, multi-use pathways, signage, lighting, and the creation of more comfortable shared street environments. Once complete, the project will better connect Dover and make many local destinations more accessible for residents of all ages and abilities.
Funding announced today supports Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy by supporting activities that will help expand networks of pathways, bike lanes, trails and pedestrian bridges.
By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country's economy, increasing the resiliency of our communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
