From 2014 to 2016, a Functional Design Study was conducted for the Chief Peguis Trail (CPT) Extension West. The intent of the study was to gain insight into the use and expectations for the CPT Extension West from Main Street to Brookside Boulevard. The CPT Extension West will be approximately 10 kilometers in length and will support economic development, create recreational opportunities, and support the completion of the Strategic Inner Ring Road to reduce traffic on neighborhood streets to make them more accommodating for public transit, walking and cycling. A Preliminary Design Study is now being completed for the CPT Extension West. The Preliminary Design Study will recommend a final design for the CPT Extension West from Main Street to Brookside Boulevard. The design will: - Accommodate forecast traffic flow on CPT; - Relieve traffic on neighbourhood streets; - Provide connections to surrounding neighbourhoods; - Include pedestrian and cycling infrastructure along the route and connections to community destinations; - Include potential locations for public art; and, - Limit the loss of higher quality natural areas.

1History of Australia and New Zealand from 1606 to 1890

By George Sutherland and Alexander Sutherland

This work provides a history of the early political, social, and economic development of Australia and New Zealand. Since both British colonies became independent countries in the 1900s, this work does not relate those events. NOTE: As this work was written by Victorian-era Australian authors, the attitudes conveyed regarding indigenous peoples are of that period and may offend some listeners today. (Summary by TriciaG) <em>This work was cataloged as "from 1696" rather than 1606. The audio files all contain the error.</em>

2Twentieth Century Inventions: A Forecast

By George Sutherland

This work from 1901 predicts what technological developments will manifest in the twentieth century. The author, a technical journalist, presents ideas for inventions and new developments in the areas of power, transportation, agriculture, mining, domestic applications, electronic devices, warfare, music, art, and news. Many have come to pass. All of them provide an interesting look into how the next century was imagined and what challenges were anticipated for the progress of society. -(Summary by A. Gramour)
