Pedestrian Bridge, Omand Park, Winter

We’ve got a problem and we want to figure out how to address it together.

The bridge in Omand Park is old and must be replaced.

Putting a new bridge in the old spot isn’t ideal because:

  • The bridge floods nearly every year.
  • The low-lying location is not accessible – it is dangerous to reach for people using wheelchairs or vulnerable users on bikes or other wheels.

We’ll soon explore how a new pedestrian bridge could serve the community while maintaining the look and feel of the park.

Before we do that, we want to talk to you. Your feedback will help us better understand the community, your needs, and how you currently use the park.

Stay tuned for updates – we will start this conversation later this spring.

    We will start public engagement later this spring to talk about the existing park and a new bridge. We know many community members will remember a similar conversation from 2010. They may also remember the project was stopped based on community feedback. This time around, we’ll use what we heard in 2010 but will also make a bit of a fresh start. We now know how important the park and preserving its character is to the community. That’s why we will ask for your input first, before we get started on the design.

    Sign up for project updates and we will notify you when engagement begins.
