Salton Road Pedestrian & Cycle Bridge
City of Abbotsford’s Neighbourhood Plan for UDistrict
-
Integrate the community with the UDistrict
-
Provide more shopping and housing
-
Improve walking, cycling and transit. Make it safe and easy.
-
Create neighbourhood gathering places.
One of the visions for the City of Abbotsford is to “make walking, biking, and transit more delightful”……and a bridge project like this will definitely help bring us closer to realizing that vision in the Midtown neighborhood.
Here is a sample from a similar project in Victoria.
Whats Happening?
- New pedestrian bridge & bike overpass located at Salton Road over Highway 1
- Project start date: Spring 2017
- Project completion: Spring 2018
Why is the City of Abbotsford building an Overpass?
- Residents of the UDistrict have informed the City that more walking and cycling options are needed.
- this project enchances the existing cycling network and meets the goal of building a complete community
- The overpass improves public safty, reduces green house gasses and supports active living
