City council’s executive policy committee has voted to approve a plan to increase the scope of the eastern extension of the Chief Peguis Trail.

The new roadway between Henderson Highway and Lagimodiere Boulevard will now cost $110 million, up from $64 million, due to an underpass at Rothesay Street.

The underpass will make the roadway safer for pedestrians, North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty has said.

The increased scope, however, will lead the city to make $2.9 million of extra payments every year under the terms of a public-private partnership deal that runs for 30 years.

The city is now within $2 million of a self-imposed limit on annual P3 payments.
