Motion – Councillor C. Kitts – Deferral of the Multi-Use Pathway Along the Airport Parkway

Council was asked to

Motion ACS2025-OCC-CCS-0037 – Motion – C. Kitts – MUP – Airport Parkway be referred back to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee as part of the report on the TMP and provide recommended options to construct the MUP
as part of the recommendations, staff consider the anticipated timing of the Airport Parkway widening and the length of time the community would be without the MUP, potential throw-away costs (including construction cost escalation and inflation) associated with building the MUP in advance of the Airport Parkway widening, and any cost savings from bundling the MUP with the Walkley Road improvements compared to implementing the MUP as a standalone project.

Motion ACS2025-OCC-CCS-0037 - Motion - C. Kitts - MUP - Airport Parkway speaks to the deferral of the multi-use pathway (MUP) on the west side of the Airport Parkway until the Airport Parkway is widened, to avoid throw-away costs
information on the anticipated timing of the Airport Parkway widening (within the short, medium, or long-term) would help inform the decision on the deferral of the MUP
the timing of the Airport Parkway widening will be considered by Council as part of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) Update, currently anticipated in July 2025
delaying a decision on the MUP until the TMP is completed will not impact the City’s ability to include the MUP in the upcoming Walkley Road improvements
