The city will be calling on its Lakeside Park recreation partners to accomplish the task of paving the waterfront path after it was denied a federal grant for the project.
After the City of Nelson had its Healthy Communities Initiative Grant in the amount of $240,000 denied recently, the city elected to turn to its regional district partners to fund the budget.
But the project did raise some concerns around the virtual council table. Coun. Rik Logtenberg noted one city resident had concerns that paving the gravel path would increase the need for speed.
