Construction is beginning on Green Streets in Whitehorse’s Whistle Bend neighbourhood and landscaping will follow. Green streets are a multi-use trail system free of vehicle traffic, enabling neighbours to gather, play and connect.
Work has begun on the Green Street between Sadie and Luella lanes as well as the Green Street between Chance and Scotia lanes by reducing the paved paths to three metres wide, reflecting what the City of Whitehorse heard during their public input sessions in October 2022.
The Green Street between Tanana and Iditarod lanes will also see paving of the three-metre path, grading and deep excavations along the mid-point pedestrian trail to install hydrants in both laneways for emergency access.
Excavations may impact adjacent lot owners and require one or more power shut offs. Affected residents will be notified in advance.
