Grande Prairie, City of

Published purpose

The City of Grande Prairie recognizes and encourages the value of outdoor recreation and staying active outdoors year round. The City boast an excellent trail system and has over 110 kilometers of asphalt, gravel, and natural trails to explore, with designated loops in several areas of the City. This project will provide signage in residential and commercial areas of the City, connecting residents and visitors to the trail system from both arterial and non-arterial roads. Assisting residents and visitors to find the trail system will encourage them to walk or ride to the trail system, promoting not only health and wellbeing, but access to pedestrian trails that are maintained regularly and intended for walking or riding in a natural setting. Trail systems also promote environmental awareness and allow those of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic status to participate. The project will improve active transportation connectivity and accessibility for all.
