Creating Connections: Accessing the Harvest Moon Trail in Kings County, Nova Scotia

pre-construction

Our project is to enhance trailheads and access points to the Harvest Moon Trail in Kings County. There could be more uptake if more communities could access the trail closer to their neighbourhood. The project aims to expand park and ride opportunity to attract residents and visitors alike to access the trail, while formalizing additional access points so people can access the trail and use it to connect to where they live, work, learn and play. Specifically, we are seeking to ensure ease of access to key destinations, including: Schools, Major employers, Adjoining subdivisions, Wineries and breweries, Restaurants and cafés, Healthcare and social services, and Service centres. However, because of the population distribution of Kings County, some residents opt to take part in the park and ride, or park and walk opportunities. Parking along the Harvest Moon Trail facilitates multi-modal trips and reduces car use by allowing drivers to hop out and walk, roll or bike along the trail or to nearby amenities.
