It’s already unsafe with e-bikes and cyclists travelling fast and some uncaring about others on Cougar Creek pathways. I don’t want to think about how much worse it will be there.

Safety and such environmental impact on the area as mentioned.

widening the current bike path to roadway size would be a travesty!!! Faster vehicles would make it more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists alike …. not to mention families and younger children who need safe places to travel as they improve their skills. The infringement on animal habitat would be huge. And the costs for such major changes an unnecessary expenditure of resources. Improvements, yes, but more sensible and modest ones ….

Stop ruining this lovely town. It’s not a city. Move to a city if you want something bigger.

Please rethink this path development. I heard it was a done deal in 2016. No consultation or notification to the residents who will be affected. Who has organized this? If not the mayor and council then who? To whom do we direct our concerns?

Please keep the path the way it is. Stop trying to develop what’s left of this beautiful town.

This path statement is the last piece of “charm” left in the town area of Canmore. Stop over developing everything!

I came to Canmore for the natural beauty, not a paved highway. People come to decompress along the river and view wildlife. This is completely the opposite and is unwelcomed.

Canmore is a gem that be carefully managed for the good of all - especially nature. Over developing this path is foolish.

Just stop the overdevelopment. How about go for a dark sky preserve. More lights traffic and yet more animal displacement is so against what we stand for as a community. Arret

This stretch of pathway is charming as it is. I fail to understand how pavement will add anything other than to reduce wild feel. Pavement will increase speed of bikes and (now) e-bikes, and reduce safety. Adding lights, in particular, will be another step toward the citification of Canmore.

The proposed change to the current path is certainly not in keeping with the natural feel of the area. And it certainly will negatively impact those that live along path.

Canmore has lost so much of its charm with all the development up and down the valley. Keep this pathway gravel, without lighting everything to look like a city park!

Keep Canmore green!!! Stop over developing everything there. People go for nature not crowds, concrete and lighted up everything!

This is not a path. its a road way. This is not a green initiative. A bike road is an over the top, unnecessary contradiction to a pristine river setting.

The town has not been transparent in their dealings with the town, the prospect homeowners have just as much right for input as anyone else, this is a town wide issue, there does not need to be lights in an ER , nor an 18 foot wide pathway
