Published purpose

As described by the applicant, this project seeks to redevelop and widen 556 metres of asphalt recreation trail to a 3 or 4 meter width, replace over 240 metres of boardwalks, 95 meters of a span pedestrian bridge, foot bridges and rest areas, construct intuitive wayfinding and interpretive signage in Whitby, Ontario. The Town will be able to replace these assets with safe accessible structures and enhance the waterfront by improving the multi-use trail to accommodate different users and abilities, safety and increase the trail capacity. This will be achieved by widening the pathway and taking measures to reduce and/or protect from hazards such as poor sightlines, steep slopes, eroded embankments and trail deterioration caused by climate, expired life-cycles and other environmental impacts.
