Elbow Drive Streetscape Plan Almost Complete



The Elbow Drive Streetscape plan shoud be complete by the end of September. We still need to raise another $100,000 to purchase the remaining lampposts. The Glencoe Storm Sewer project recently was built across Elbow Drive again congesting the route. The two projects had to be coordinated by the city to try and reduce disruption.

Already we are getting comments on how much nicer and safer it is to walk along Elbow Drive.

A new bike/skating path is near completion adjacent to the roadway on the east side. The walking path that winds down to the river's edge will be retained for pedestrians. The EPRA worked hard to retain this wonderful walking path as the City wanted to widen it to accommodate bikes and roller-bladers.Jerry Shaw Park has been slightly modified to create room for the wider bike path.

See the Fall Gazette for a donation sheet for you tax deductible donations for Elbow Drive Beautification.
