City applies for 150 funding
I wonder if any of this will pay for something better than a fugly chain link fence to separate the LRT tracks from the TCT trail through Waterloo Park.
Quote:The City of Waterloo has submitted three projects for consideration as part of the Federal Government’s new infrastructure fund to celebrate Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday in 2017...
The first project requests $475,000 from the fund to help pay for improvements to the Trans Canada Trail through Waterloo Park, including better landscape design, increased shade, additional amenities such as water play features and furniture, and the expansion of pedestrian-scale lighting along secondary trail linkages that cross the light rail transit corridor. The total project would cost an estimated $1.5 million.
The second project the city will submit is $288,000 in funding to improve pavement conditions along approximately four kilometres of trail on eight different sections of the Trans Canada Trail in the city, with a total project cost of about $720,000.
