The zoning by-law amendment for the development at 1251 Bridletowne Crescent included a Section 37 Agreement. One of the community benefits secured in the agreement included the construction a 1.5 m pedestrian walkway from Timberbank Boulevard to the existing bridge over the channelized Highland Creek watercourse in a value of up to $250,000 through a Municipal Infrastructure Agreement The city has since then abandoned this infrastructure improvement and the amount has not been used.
