New path for St. Vital-area park

A pathway in a St. Vital-area park is set for an upgrade.

Construction will begin this month on a $284-K project to rebuild an asphalt pathway in Brentford Park, a city news release said Thursday.

The path, which will be more than 750 metres in length, is expected to be ready by the fall.

Coun. Brian Mayes (St. Vital), who is not running for re-election in October’s civic vote, noted one of his first announcements after being elected in 2011 was for a new play structure in Brentford Park.

“It’s fitting that all these years later we are returning to announce new funding to rebuild the park’s pathways,” Mayes said in the release.
