Athalmer trail construction to begin soon
The District of Invermere has contracted MarWest Industries Ltd. (Castlegar) to undertake the construction of new trails in Athalmer.
The focus of this work is to expand the district’s existing trail network and provide safe pedestrian access, the district outlined on its website.
Work will be taking place on the Lake Windermere Public Lands (Area C), along 3rd Avenue (Area A), along Laurier Street between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue (Area G), and along 4th Avenue (Area H) all as shown in the map above.
The trails construction mostly involves grading and paving. Traffic and road disruptions should be minimal. However, the trail construction along 4th Avenue involves the addition of a curb and gutter and creation of stormwater works which may cause some traffic disruptions at times in the area, the district explained.
Some of that work will involve the removal of pavement between Laurier Street and Cartwright St along 4th Avenue.
“It will be necessary to close sections of 4th Avenue to vehicle and pedestrian traffic to maintain safe conditions, as well as protect the public and workers at the job site. In addition, driveway access to some properties will be unavailable at times. When required, vehicle traffic will be diverted to other roads,” the district said.
“Please pay careful attention to directional signage / reader boards near the project site; those directions will be updated regularly by Marwest. The district and MarWest Industries apologize in advance for any traffic delays and disruptions that this important work may impose on the public.”
