Multi-Use Path will make a strategic construction leap ALEX KURIAL Editor
PULL UP A CHAIR The Goblin Tavern was a very popular stop on Halloween night, with friendly-faced servers conjuring up diabolical spirits from the unknown for visitors to enjoy. Minimal transformations and transfigurations were reported after consumption.

An 800-metre stretch of Grafton Road has been chosen as the next portion of the Multi-Use Path to tackle. This part of the path would run from Forster Lane to about 100 metres north of Cates Hill Road. While this would leave a gap between the new section and where the Multi-Use Path (MUP) currently ends - about 300 metres past Artisan Lane - the availability of grant funding and less challenging terrain conditions would allow for this portion to be completed sooner than the looming Charlie’s Lane section. Dubbed ‘Phase 4’, the section starting at Forster Lane and backtracking east toward the completed pathway is estimated to cost $2 million. Grant funding has been secured for more than half of that between $1 million from the provincial Active Transportation Infrastructure Grants (BCAT) and $233,000 from TransLink. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
