New Coaldale pathway fixes critical pedestrian safety issue

Pedestrians in Coaldale will finally be able to move around more safely with a new pathway that was just completed at the north end of town.

The stretch of pathway begins at the Rehoboth Garden Centre and stretches 400 metres south to 16^th avenue in order to bypass Highway 845. The full connection beginning at Rehoboth will eventually connect to the Link Pathway, which travels all the way to Lethbridge.

Christian Conner, a member at Rehoboth, brought forward a petition to town council in light of what he believed were safety risks to pedestrians near the highway.
