2.  Fitzsimmons Creek Footbridge – east of Whistler

Recreation Sites and Trails BC is fast tracking the approval process for establishing a footbridge across Fitzsimmons Creek just outside the Garibaldi Provincial Park boundary. The footbridge will facilitate better recreational access to Singing Pass and potentially the Spearhead Range.

The Federation of Mountain Clubs is working with Peter Taylor (bridge engineer) and has come up with a bridge design. It is estimated to cost $55,000.

Estimated Cost: $55,000
