Residents have reacted positively to news of a four-kilometre bike path that will connect from Old Chelsea to the north end of Hull.
The path, which will follow Mine, Notch and Kingsmere roads, will cost $1.4 million to build, split evenly between the federal, provincial and municipal governments, Liberal MP Will Amos announced this week.
“The bike path project in Chelsea will create safe connections among our communities and offer residents of all ages of adopting an active mode of transportation in the Outaouais region,” he said in a release.
Residents took to social media to voice their approval of the project, citing the dangerous conditions for cyclists and pedestrians alike along Mine and Notch roads.
“This has been such a long time coming,” commented Charles Deschamps on a Chelsea residents’ Facebook group.
“(The path is) much safer for our family to bike to school and work and just for recreation,” commented Steve Shona, another member of the group.
The path, which connects to northern Gatineau at Cité des Jeunes Boulevard, provides access to a number of high schools and cégeps. It will also be useful for commuters cycling to Hull or Ottawa and for cyclists passing through Gatineau park.
“Having a safe cycling route will be a weight off of many parents’ minds,” Amos said via email.
The federal-provincial investment will come from the small communities provision of the New Building Canada Fund.
Construction is set to begin late summer or early fall. Completion dates were not provided, as a contractor has yet to be named.
