The City of Mission awarded GPM Civil Contracting Inc. a construction contract to construct safety and roadway improvements. Construction began in January 2023 and was completed in August 2023.

The 7th Avenue Greenway provides a mobility route and was developed as part of the City’s commitment to providing convenient and safe mobility options, making it easier for people of all ages and abilities to walk, wheel, or cycle.

The greenway starts at Dewdney Trunk Road, continues through Heritage Park and ends at Grand Street.

The City of Mission received a generous British Columbia Active Transportation Infrastructure grant to construct these three segments:

  • West Segment: A grant was claimed for 7th Avenue between Heritage Park to Grand Street.
  • Existing Segment: A grant was secured for construction of the existing pathways within Fraser River Heritage Park.
  • East Segment: A grant was secured to construct the segment along the residential streets between Fraser River Heritage Park and Dewdney Trunk Road
The corridor was selected based on its direct and relatively flat east-west connection across the District and proximity to schools, parks, community facilities, and commercial businesses.
