TORONTO — Construction will begin in mid-July to complete a section of the Martin Goodman Trail along Unwin Avenue in Toronto.
This section of the trail will complete the last link of the 20-kilometre cycling and walking trail along Toronto’s waterfront from the western to the eastern beaches. Construction is expected to be complete by November.
The trail will be located along the south side of Unwin Avenue, north of Tommy Thompson Park, in an area known as the Baselands and will stretch from Outer Harbour Marina Road to Leslie Street.
According to a release, the completely separated multi-use and accessible trail will improve pedestrian and cyclist safety along the waterfront.
Features will include a resting area, habitat enhancements, low-impact stormwater management features and native trees and shrubs.
The plan for completing the missing link of the Martin Goodman Trail was initiated in 2013 as part of the joint “Quick Starts” initiative between the city, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Waterfront Toronto, the release adds.
The program aimed to implement a number of recreational and ecological early works projects in Lake Ontario Park and Tommy Thompson Park.
