Published purpose

The proposed project includes the construction of paved shoulders supporting bike lanes and pedestrian access along County Road 50 W. County Road 50 is an East-West connecting route along the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail spanning the Southernmost region of Essex County. The project will span approximately 5.7km from the municipality's border at County Road 41, to Dahinda Drive at the edge of historic Colchester village. The project includes the construction of a 1.5 metre wide paved shoulder on the eastbound and westbound lanes, with appropriate pavement markings and cross walks. These elements will be constructed within the existing road right-of-way and utilize existing drainage corridors. In addition, the project will include additional features such as benches, AODA compliant wayfinding signage, and high visibility pavement markings.
