THE Toowoomba Regional Council will soon start work on footpath and cycleway connectivity at Krause Ct in East Toowoomba, next to the East Creek channel.
Infrastructure services group portfolio leader Cr Melissa Taylor said the upgrade would include connecting the footpaths at the corner of James St and Kitchener St.
“Council expects construction to be completed by late November, weather permitting,” Cr Taylor said.
“Council’s works tie in with the East Creek culvert upgrades on James Street, recently completed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
“The project includes reconfiguring the turnaround area on Krause Court, construction of a new kerb and drainage pit, installation of carparking bays as well as tree planting and turfing.”
Cr Taylor said the project would connect the East Creek pathways as well as widening the footpath in Krause Ct.
“The council supports active transport, and the completed project would see the footpaths connected on this popular walking track and cycleway,” Cr Taylor said.
“With the recent appointment of a new Regional Active and Public Transport committee, I look forward to creating more opportunities for walking and cycling in our region.
“Construction work will take place generally between the hours of 6.30am to 6.30pm on weekdays, and we apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience during construction.
“The council will seek to minimise any community impacts and thanks the community for their patience and co-operation during these works.”
