Rehabilitation of dedicated active transportation bridge. It is in poor structural condition and needs to be rehabilitated in the short term. As a historic resource, it has been part of the city of Red Deer's identity and forms a heavily used, active transportation corridor. It is also a key river crossing as part of the Trans Canada Trail and is the only dedicated active transportation river crossing near populated areas which include the downtown and Riverside Meadows.

The Town of Pictou wishes to create a safe walking route between a residential area and a popular community general store. There is currently no sidewalk access from the residential areas to a popular convenience/grocery store located directly across from the intersection; crosswalks are inconveniently and unsafely positioned.
The project includes:
• a traffic study of the area
• creation of engineering plans for the construction
• realignment of the union street intersection
• creation of sidewalks
• a new crosswalk with RRFB lighting
• creation of a green space with seating
• Anticipated length of new asphalt would be 25 m (175 square metres)
• Anticipated length of new sidewalk would be 22 m (33.5 square metres)
• 520 square metres of new green space would be created
