The City of Grande Prairie is commencing the 2023 Sidewalk Program, aimed at improving pedestrian safety and accessibility throughout the community. This program involves the construction of a new sidewalk and the enhancement of existing ones in various locations across the city.

The program is expected to kick off in early June and last until late July, weather permitting.

Phase 1:

• 100 Street Service Road from McDonald’s to 121 Avenue
• 121 Avenue from Crystal Ridge Road to 95B Street
• Juno Crossing from 93 Street to 92C Street
• 76 Avenue from Poplar Drive to Resources Road, extending the sidewalk on the south side of 76 Avenue from Poplar Drive to the east

Phase 2:

• 100 Street Frontage Road from 108 Avenue to 109 Avenue
• 109 Avenue from 100 Street to 99 Street
• 96 Avenue from 92 Street to 93 Street
• 92B Street from 95 Avenue to 96 Avenue

The City is  committed to minimizing any inconvenience during the construction process and ensuring public safety. Residents and visitors are encouraged to plan their routes accordingly and adhere to any traffic control measures put in place during the construction period.

"The 2023 Sidewalk Program is a crucial component of our ongoing commitment to building a safe and walkable community for all residents,” said Mayor Jackie Clayton. “These improvements will not only enhance pedestrian mobility but also create safer routes for residents while promoting active transportation options. By investing in our sidewalks, we are supporting quality of life and an inclusive and caring community in Grande Prairie.”
