PROJECT NO: P21-157-1
Active Transportation Priorities – Walker's Creek Trail Realignment at Lakeshore Road Project, Walker's Creek Park and Walker's Creek Trail
Please be advised that the contract for constructing a new multi-use trail realignment/extension section at Walker's Creek Park has been awarded. The successful Contractor, Rankin Construction Inc., is tentatively scheduled to start work in mid-May 2025. Weather permitting, the construction should take approximately three weeks to complete with final restorations.
The Walker's Creek Trail Extension is to suit the newly installed Pedestrian Crossing (PXO) by Niagara Region at Lakeshore Road, St. Catharines.
The proposed project includes:
- Construction of a new accessible asphalt multi-use trail section.
- Installation of a culvert system, park/roadway gates.
In order to complete the upgrades and new trails safely and in a timely manner:
- Section of the Walker's Creek Park within the construction limits will be closed off to pedestrian traffic for the duration of construction.
- Section of the existing multi-use trail within the construction limits will be closed off to pedestrian traffic for the duration of construction.
The Contractor will co-ordinate to ensure Emergency Services has access to properties throughout construction. Please contact us if you have specific accessibility requirements or concerns.
Every effort will be made to maintain access to abutting properties and to minimize inconvenience to businesses, residents and pedestrians. A construction inspector from the City will be present on-site during construction and can be contacted for information.
