In 2017, Council approved a developer amenity contribution for the Waterfront Landing development (SEAandSKY) which provides a benefit to Squamish residents who live in the southern neighbourhoods of town, and to Downtown residents and visitors providing access to the new waterfront park (Miyiwts Park). The pedestrian lift bridge connects both sides of the Mamquam Blind Channel at Victoria Street.

The pedestrian bridge also provides an important active transportation link for residents of Waterfront Landing, Valleycliff, Hospital Hill, the St'a7mes community, and Downtown Squamish, creating more opportunities to walk and cycle to/from Downtown Squamish and further reduce the reliance on vehicle use. The Corridor Trail connects to the new Clarke Drive bridge west of Highway 99, which now easily connect to Downtown via this pedestrian bridge.

The bridge has been designed to open the middle spans to allow passage of watercraft (small watercraft will likely not require the bridge to be open to pass below).
