Residents of the Town of Hudson will soon have access to a new multi-purpose pathway for walking and cycling, thanks to a joint investment of $3.4 million from the federal government and the Town of Hudson to redevelop Lakeview and Selkirk Streets.
Announced by MP Peter Schiefke and Mayor Chloe Hutchison, this project will benefit the community by encouraging active travel for all, including seniors, students and young families.
Specifically, the project announced today aims to create a new 1.2 kilometre multi-purpose pathway along Lakeview Street to create a safe corridor for pedestrians and cyclists in this residential neighbourhood.
Part of the multi-purpose path will also be installed along Selkirk Street, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross from Lakeview Street into the village via an intersection with a crosswalk leading to the nearby municipal park.
The installation of several traffic calming measures to reduce vehicle speeds and promote safety in this residential area is also planned.
Once completed, this project will encourage active transportation among the community, while providing seniors and young people with a safe, multi-use pathway to get out and about.
