If this is the 15+ walkway around the inner city, it was amazing, very clean, great to be able to get from building to building without going outside but parts of it made you feel like you were outside. Very clean and modern. More

I love the pathway systems. They are well maintained and there are so many little interconnecting routes that I don't get bored being out everyday soaking up the flora and fauna around the river. More

I've been using the pathways since the early '90s. A lot of improvements made over that time. More

We can't forget the new Peace bridge, which is already getting over 4000 users a month, and connects Kensington with the city... More

Funny for a city associated with winter most of the time we have OVER 700 kilometers of pathways - the most extensive in North America. And they are save even more so now with all the work they are doing on the Bow river east of downtown. Highly recommended and the price is right More
