City adding more para ramps downtown

Work continues to improve accessibility in Whitehorse.

The City’s contractor, Copperbelt Contracting Ltd., will be installing para ramps in a number of locations between 2^nd and 4^th Avenues beginning June 24 and continuing until Sept. 27.

Para ramps are designed to accommodate individuals using mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, and those with limited mobility. These ramps offer a gentle slope and a non-slip surface, ensuring a safer passage for all.

The new para ramps will improve sidewalk accessibility for all users.

This work builds on last year’s installation of para ramps along Fourth Avenue between Jeckell Street and Elliott Street.

Please use caution when in the area of work zones and follow all detours and construction signage.
