Construction Resumes on Kelly’s Brook Trail

 

This multi-year construction project began in November 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by 2025. Future phases will see construction on sections from Guy Street to Columbus Drive, and Kings Bridge Road to Carpasian Road. The project involves upgrading a disconnected gravel trail to a continuous paved shared-use path with lighting and improved street crossings. 

 

The shared-use path will improve accessibility and safety. It will be three meters wide and will provide a space that can be used by all active transportation modes, enabling people to get around the city by walking, cycling, scooting, strolling, wheeling or rolling. This path is designed to connect to other active transportation routes, enhancing connectivity and providing people with more ways to get around the City. 

 

Kelly’s Brook Trail will remain open to pedestrian traffic during construction. Portions of the trail may be diverted and/or detoured at times to facilitate construction work. Traffic delays and lane reductions are also expected throughout the project at locations where Kelly’s Brook Trail crosses City streets. These disruptions will be communicated throughout the project.

 

This project was identified as an action in the City’s strategic plan, Our City, Our Future. We are committed to expanding and maintaining a safe and accessible active transportation system as we build a balanced transportation network to get people and goods where they want to go safely.
