The City of Grande Prairie is starting sidewalk construction work in Highland Park on Thursday.

The work, part of the annual sidewalk program in Grande Prairie, aims to replace existing sidewalks so they are accessible for all.

Construction will take place on:

• 99B Street between 87 Avenue and 85 Avenue.
• 99 Street between 88 Avenue and 85 Avenue.
• 85 Avenue between 99B Street and 99 Street.
• Within the Park Avenues.

In Grande Prairie, the standard for roads in residential areas is a 1.5 metre sidewalk on one side of the road and a 10.5 metre road width. The city says sidewalks in the area will be brought as close to the city’s standard as possible, while others will be removed.
