A multi-use pathway in east Richmond’s Hamilton neighbourhood is nearing completion.
The City of Richmond began work on the $1.1 million bike/pedestrian pathway on Westminster Highway, between Smith Crescent and Fraserside Gate, in the fall of 2022.
The pathway includes a 1.8 metre-wide bike lane and a 1.5 metre-wide walkway along the north side of Westminster Highway.
A curb will separate the multi-use pathway from the main road.
In 2022, residents in the area were concerned about driveway access, on-street parking and vehicle speeds on Westminster Highway when construction began.
City staff and contractors made some minor alterations to address these concerns, according to a February Public Works and Transportation staff report.
The Westminster Highway bike and pedestrian lane project is expected to be completed by this summer.
