Trail #11 - Coming in the Spring
Work has already commenced on the new trail to be built along the Hydro corridor. Once completed, the 3.8 km paved trail will run from Audubon Blvd. on the north to Dundas St. on the south. The trail will intersect with the Shafer Trail and, thereby, enhance both routes. Completion is scheduled for spring 2021, weather permitting.
The City will provide standard amenities along the trail such as armour stone rest areas, benches, trail signage and garbage cans. The path will intersect major intersections such as Rathburn Rd, Burnhamthorpe and Bloor Street. Swing gates will be used at entrances to discourage any vehicular traffic but will allow access for wheelchairs, strollers, and bicycles. These amenities meet Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) standards.
While the City has already placed stoplights at Burnhamthorpe Rd, it has not yet been confirmed if a cross- walk, stop-sign, or stoplights will be installed at Rathburn. The issue of children using this route to and from St. Martha and St. Mary School was put forward for consideration as part of re-imagining the Rathburn project.
