Should Blenheim Road Get a New Multi-Use Trail?
Official title: Blenheim Road Reconstruction Survey
Cambridge wants to rebuild Blenheim Road from Devil's Creek to Mount View Cemetery. The project would replace aging water pipes, narrow the road slightly, and add a new 2.4-3.0m wide multi-use trail on the south side. Some properties without sanitary sewer service might get connected too.
Why This Matters
Live on or near Blenheim Road? This affects your daily commute and property access during construction. The new multi-use trail could make walking and cycling safer. If you're one of the properties without sanitary sewer, you might face Local Improvement Charges to get connected.
What Could Change
The road would narrow from 7.4m to 7.0m. A new 3.0m multi-use trail would connect to the Devil's Creek Trail system. Retaining walls may be built in steep areas. Properties between 134 Blenheim Road and Devil's Creek could get sanitary sewer service, potentially through Local Improvement Charges.
Key Issues
- Is the proposed multi-use trail width (2.4-3.0m) adequate for the area?
- Should sanitary sewer be extended to unserviced properties, and how should it be funded?
- How will the proposed plan affect individual properties?
How to Participate
