Trail system could be in the works for Vaughan
If things go as planned, those who hike, bike or ride horses in the Vaughan area will soon have a new trail system to enjoy.
The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority recently released the news that it is hoping to develop a system of trails that will wind through some of the scenic areas in the region.
The framework , which has been named the Nashville Conservation Reserve Management Plan, will cover an area of nearly 820 hectares between King and Nashville Road and Highway 27 and Highway 50.
Part of the proposal includes 25 kilometers of trails, with half of them just for hiking and the rest to be deemed ‘multi-use’. There will be a major trail hub where the Kirby and Huntington Roads converge, which will include a parking lot. A printing company will be able to provide signage for this area.
The overall price tag for the plan sits at about $3.3 million, with the majority of this going to pay for the trails, parking area, signs, lookouts, and other related items. The rest of the funds will be used for measures to protect the environment, such as surveys and reports of the site’s archeology, keeping invasive species under control, maintaining the trees, controlling erosion, public garden and urban agriculture, and other items as they come up.
Once it has begun, the estimated time to complete the project is between 7 and 12 years.
