First phase of MPE Link Pathway opens

The community of Lethbridge and Coaldale can now travel by bike between the two cities. This is after the recent inauguration of the first phase of the Link Pathway. The rural bike path will allow users to run and walk along the canals and along southern Alberta’s agricultural heartland. Alvin Fritz, principal architect at Alvin Reinhard Fritz Architect Inc. explains why this project is so important. Fritz says when the final phase is finished, the pathway will have 5 kilometers of safe transit. He also says the goal is to connect Birds of Prey and Henderson Lake.
