Walkers who use Valleyview Park will have to wait a little longer for the finishing touches on its pathway. According to a City of Pickering notice, construction on the park's pathway has been extended, with paving work still needed to complete the project.
The pathway replacement is now scheduled to run from Friday, October 30 through Friday, November 6, 2026. The notice did not say how long the project had originally been expected to take, only that the timeline has been pushed back.
The city is describing the work as a pathway replacement, meaning park users should expect continued disruption along the route while crews lay new asphalt.
"Thank you for your patience and cooperation while this work is completed," the notice states.
