Delta Greenway Set to Connect to Boardwalk Trail
Delta city council is moving forward with plans to build a new greenway trail that will link local neighbourhoods to the Delta Boardwalk, creating safer, continuous access for pedestrians and cyclists.
The greenway — a dedicated route separated from traffic — will run through residential areas and parks, giving residents a scenic, active-transport connection to one of the community’s most popular waterfront spaces.
Linking Communities to the Waterfront
The project will close a missing gap between existing trails and the Delta Boardwalk, a favourite destination for walkers, joggers, and cyclists alike. By connecting neighbourhood streets to the waterfront path, the greenway aims to make walking and cycling more convenient and enjoyable for people of all ages.
City planners say the route will enhance active transportation options and support healthier, more sustainable travel habits for residents across the municipality.
Planned Route and Features
The planned greenway will thread through selected local roads and parks, with traffic calming measures and clear signage to ensure safety. Portions of the route will include bike lanes, pedestrian paths, landscaping, and improved crossings at key intersections, making it easier to travel without a vehicle.
Officials say the design will reflect Delta’s scenic character and promote connectivity between neighbourhood destinations, schools, and recreation areas.
Support From Council and Community
Delta council members have supported the greenway plan as part of broader efforts to improve active transportation infrastructure. They say residents have consistently asked for safer, more direct routes for walking and cycling, particularly to reach outdoor spaces like the Delta Boardwalk and local parks.
Some community advocates also note that more connected trails can boost local tourism, encourage physical activity, and reduce vehicle traffic on neighbourhood streets.
Timeline and Next Steps
City staff say detailed design and planning work is currently underway, with funding and construction timelines to be finalized this year. Once complete, the greenway will offer a welcome addition to Delta’s network of trails and active transportation routes.
Officials expect construction to begin as soon as funding and permits are secured, with regular updates provided to the public as the project progresses.
