The City of Hamilton is completing a Schedule B Municipal Class EA for a new pedestrian bridge to facilitate enhanced active transportation (AT) movement across the Lincoln Alexander Parkway (LINC).
The bridge is to be located east of Upper Wentworth Street and will extend from McQuesten Park on the southside of the LINC to, the vicinity of Limeridge Mall on the north side of the LINC. The need for this crossing of the LINC was identified in both the Recreational Trails Master Plan (2016) and Cycling Master Plan Update (2018).
The primary purpose of this EA is to examine and determine the optimum positioning and type of bridge structure required. This will include ensuring adequate clearances and other safety measures are addressed. A traffic safety assessment will also be completed that will make recommendations to ensure safety on the LINC is not compromised. Additional issues to be examined include: the location of connecting links, impact to utilities and the natural environment.
