Pedestrian Bridge in 2020
The Design
The new design takes its style inspiration from the nearby vehicle bridges. With improved lighting and enhanced landscaping elements this new pedestrian bridge will be a beautiful entry into the downtown for residents and visitors.
The new bridge will be capable of accommodating pedestrians, cyclist and light service vehicles.
The addition of the viewing platform will provide a lookout for pedestrians to take in the sights of our beautiful city
