A new multi-use pathway will provide better access to key destinations within Lethbridge after an investment of $1.8 million from the federal government through the Active Transportation Fund (ATF).
Funding will support the construction of a two-kilometre active transportation connection for pedestrians and cyclists. Lethbridge has an impressive 280+ km of pathways, however, there are still gaps in certain boroughs. The Crowsnest Trail Pathway will address one such gap by linking the existing regional pathway network to the WT Hill Business Park, a major commercial and employment area in the city.
Now under construction, the project will provide safe alternatives to vehicular travel, build upon Lethbridge's active transportation and capital improvement plans, and open the door to new connections in the future.
The ATF supports projects that build new and expanded networks of pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes and trails to support affordable, greener, and healthier options for Canadians to access their communities by walking, cycling, and through the use of human-powered or hybrid mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters, e-bikes, rollerblades, snowshoes, cross-country skis, and more.
