Published purpose

During our Community engagement for the Witset Active Transportation Plan, the amount of pedestrian use of the highway was particularly concerning as major safety concerns were highlighted such as low lighting and speeding vehicles. As such, creating a safe pedestrian path along highway 16 through the village is of highest priority. This project will construct a 470m long, 3m wide, asphalt paved multi-use path along Hwy 16; a part of Hwy that is widely use by the community to get to the canyon and smoke house to do their cultural activities and traditional fishing. The project will also generate signage, benches and animal proof garbage bins.
