Today, Viviane Lapointe, Member of Parliament for Sudbury, and His Worship Paul Lefebvre, Mayor of the City of Greater Sudbury, announced a federal investment of $3.35 million to support two active transportation projects.
The final 2.3 km of the Paris-Notre Dame Bikeway between Wilma Street and Van Horne Street will be constructed through a $3.3 million investment. Work will include physically separated cycling paths on either side of the roadway and upgrades to sidewalks, curbs, crosswalks, signage, lighting, furnishings and landscaping to improve the experience of active transportation users. Completing this Bikeway will transform the corridor into a more vibrant, safer streetscape that connects residents to transit services and major destinations within the community.
Additionally, an investment of $50,000 will develop wayfinding guidelines, which will act as a toolkit for coordinated wayfinding signage and pavement markings. The project will help make it easier for residents of all ages and abilities to navigate the streets and trails available throughout the city, while also promoting Greater Sudbury's unique character.
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.
