Maple Glen Pathway Construction Beginning September 14 🚧

The work will be completed in the phase 1 work area between Despard Avenue and Hirst Avenue West, as outlined in the map. The project will replace the existing asphalt pathway with a more accessible and effective surface, along with widening it from the original 1.5 metre width to a more suitable 2 metres.

During construction, temporary pathway closures and pedestrian detours will be in place. Work is expected to take approximately four to six weeks, depending on weather conditions. Please respect all signage and fencing during construction. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this time.
