The opening of a new $1-million pathway in downtown Port Coquitlam will be feted next Tuesday at a public gathering.
From 3 to 4 p.m. Oct. 9, the city will host a party on Hawthorne Avenue to celebrate the completion of the Donald Street pathway, which extends from Welcher Avenue to Central elementary.
The party is a thank you to the neighbourhood for putting up with the construction over the spring and summer months.
The four metre-wide paved walkway adds to the pathway’s first leg, from Wilson Avenue to Elks Park, that was built in 2014.
The new capital project resulted in the conversion of 200 m of local roadway and the relocation of utilities and road access for eight properties.
Hot chocolate and donuts will be served at the pathway launch.
