Some sidewalks in Calgary have gotten a little bouncier.
Rubber has replaced concrete and asphalt at three city sidewalks.
One is on Charleswood Drive in the northwest from Crowchild Trail to Capri Avenue.
Another is at a section along Kensington Road while a third is at the bus pad at 84th Avenue and 24th Street S.E.
The sidewalks are said to be safer and less expensive, since they’re made up of recycled tires.
The $250,000 pilot project will be monitored through winter.
