Routing options and concept designs were on display Wednesday night at Heritage Christian School.

Options to connect the Houghton Road Actice Transportation Corridor include a tunnel, pedestrian overpass, adding a new pedestrian crossing at Highway 97 or upgrading existing lights to assist travel to the rail trail.

The four proposals cost between $2 and $8 million.

Further consultation with residents is planned and input can be made to the City at its website.

Construction on one of the four options is expected to begin in 2020.
