Delhi Park Community Connections
Overview:
The County of Prince Edward is developing a design plan for a series of 3-metre wide, paved pathways in Delhi Park in Picton. The goal is to better connect pedestrians and cyclists to Delhi Park’s surrounding areas, including Picton Main Street.
Budget information:
- Budget year: 2023
- Total cost: $50,000 in funding has been secured through Infrastructure Canada’s Active Transportation Fund to develop the design plan.
Project Status:
Phase 1
A task team is being formed in the Fall 2023.
Project Details:
Unofficial and unmaintained pathways through Delhi Park in Picton have been used informally for many years. In the interest of public safety and well-being, the municipality is looking to formalize these routes to create a network of integrated, safe and accessible paths to improve pedestrian and cyclist access within the town of Picton.
The plan will be based on existing infrastructure, environmental and landscape constraints, locations of informal pathways and parking, the needs of local communities and stakeholders, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the informal pathways that have been created over the years.
The project will unfold in two phases:
Phase 1: A task team of stakeholders will be formed in Fall 2023 to work with staff and a contracted subject-matter-expert to make recommendations to the Traffic Advisory Committee. Public and stakeholder consultation will take place in Winter 2023.
Phase 2: Once the plan is developed, staff will apply for implementation and construction funding.
