Security and access to parks

At a time when our Okanagan population is not only aging, but mobility is becoming a challenge, has the city or the regional district proposed the notion of creating accessibility to all on the greenway in mission park and the rails to trails initiative?  

At this time, both parks are inadequate to handle wheelchairs, walkers and any mobility device with smaller wheels.  As an active wheelchair user myself, it would mean a great deal to be able to access these parks by means of a paved path or hard packed surface where as small casters will not be obstructed by gravel or small rocks.
 
As an added benefit, by paving these paths this should increase popularity and foot traffic therefor reducing security risks to common users.
 
Thanks a lot for listening and our community appreciates your support.
