The City of Delta is gathering public feedback on another proposed multi-use pathway.
The pathway would be along the west side of 114th Street between 83rd and 84th avenues as part of Delta’s cycling Infrastructure program.
According to the city, the route has been identified for improvements as it connects to schools and community services in the Social Heart in North Delta.
Road improvements will increase cyclist and pedestrian safety, improve access to school, improve streetlight and street aesthetics, the city notes.
The proposed improvements include a 3.5-metre-wide asphalt multi-use path, grassed boulevard, street trees, LED street lighting, pavement markings and related signage.
The construction of the project is scheduled to tentatively start this summer.
A public information meeting with city staff will be held to seek feedback from the public on the proposed design and make adjustment as necessary.
The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 1, at the North Delta Recreation Centre’s Multi-Purpose Gymnasium Room. The drop-in format session takes place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
The city is also gathering input from those who can’t attend by March 6.
Delta council last year approved a contract award of $584,000 for the Nordel Way Multi-Use Pathway Project.
That multi-use pathway will provide a dedicated off-street travel lane for cyclists and pedestrians along Nordel Way from Weigh Scale Road to River Road.
More recently, council last month endorsed a staff recommendation to submit a grant application to the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport's Destination Development Fund for improvements for an existing 16-kilometre bike route connecting breweries and farm stands in Ladner with the beaches and cafes in Tsawwassen.
The “Barns to Beaches” route currently comprises a series of existing cycling segments along Delta's farm roads and the multi-use pathway along the Boundary Bay dike.
The current route starts at River Road near 72nd Street and winds its way to Market Avenue at the Southlands.
