The Dept. of Public Works has begun its second phase of construction on the CVT Canal Walk, aiming to improve accessibility and bolster pedestrian and bike infrastructure.
Improvements in this phase of construction include:
- Installing ramp extensions and retaining walls
- Adding landscaping and hardscape consistent with the rest of the Canal Walk
- Building a shared use path
- Installing curbs, grading, and erosion and sediment control
The construction area is on the south side of the canal, including the pedestrian bridge at the intersection of 15th and Dock Streets. Weather permitting, DPW is aiming to complete work by spring 2025.
Project funding came from the Federal Transportation Alternative Program, along with a 20% match from the city.
