Some homeowners fear the path could become a noisy hang-out but Heaton-Sherstobitoff says it will be a family public amenity for walking and biking.
There’s also concern about trees being cut down.
She adds the city will engage with neighbours to show them the plans and how very few trees are being removed when work starts next month.
