This significant and long-awaited cycling link is nearing completion, with lighting and landscaping and some fencing to follow the paving.
They city will maintain the trail all year, removing snow in winter, which will make this a popular trail for cyclists, hikers and joggers.
Built on an abandoned CP rail line, the trail extends from Studholme Road in the east, to the Main West Fortinos plaza and the Hamilton to Brantford trail head at Ewan Road to the west (Project #3 on TLC's Shifting Gears Cycling Master Plan map: click here to view) providing a safe, car-free crossing over highway 403.
A link to Glenside Avenue through the Chedoke Golf Course will further strengthen this connection linking South West Hamilton to neighbourhoods south of McMaster University, and into Dundas.
Congratulations to the city staff and councillor Brian McHattie for seeing this through to its conclusion.
