Rural Municipality of Rockwood to improve sidewalks and trails in the Town of Stony Mountain
Project made possible by the federal Gas Tax Fund
(firmenpresse) - STONY MOUNTAIN, MANITOBA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/26/16 -- Investing in public infrastructure creates jobs, strengthens the economy and connects people to their communities. Investing in recreational infrastructure projects - such as those that facilitate active transportation - gives Canadians and their families safe and accessible opportunities for walking, jogging and bicycling.
The Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba today announced support for a new active transportation infrastructure project in Stony Mountain through the federal Gas Tax Fund. New gravel and asphalt trails will be constructed along Dufferin Drive, Old Highway 7, Memorial Drive, School Road, and from Gulay Road to Park Avenue along the King Edward road allowance. Totalling nearly 2 kilometres in length, the trails will also increase pedestrian and cyclist safety.
Thanks to the federal Gas Tax Fund, residents will be able to get outdoors and enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle, whether through commuting, exercising, or spending an afternoon of outdoor family fun.
