Construction has begun on Stage 5 of the Home Hill Be-Active Trail, bringing the town one step closer to a continuous pathway network for residents.
This stage will see a two-metre-wide concrete footpath installed along Seventeenth Street, stretching from Seventh Avenue to Eleventh Avenue. Once complete, work will move directly into Stage 6, extending the pathway along Eleventh Avenue from Seventeenth Street.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the trail is a long-term investment in health, wellbeing and livability for the Home Hill community.
“The Be-Active Trail is about creating safe, accessible spaces that encourage walking, cycling and active lifestyles for all ages,” she said.
“With nine stages planned in total, each step brings us closer to delivering a connected pathway network that links key parts of the community, supports recreation, and improves neighbourhood connectivity.”
When finished, the Be-Active Trail will provide a continuous pathway network designed to promote healthy living, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and enhance the town’s overall amenity.
