Public Engagement
5th Street Bridge Colour
The bridge has been recoated in classic green lead-free paint. Over 2,100 people completed a survey in January 2021 to weigh in on the bridge colour, with more than half in favour of recoating the bridge in “classic green” over the other proposed choices of silver and matte black.
2019 Drop-in Open House and Survey
On November 21, 2019, the community was invited to provide feedback on the 5th Street Bridge Rehabilitation Project. An online survey provided additional opportunities for the community to weigh in on the project.
