Crosstown Trail - Khalsa Gate to Sixteen Mile Creek - Oakville, Ontario

in progress

Under Construction

The Town of Oakville will upgrade a portion of its existing Crosstown Trail (4km in length) from a 2m wide (approx.) limestone screen trail to a 4m wide asphalt multi-use trail over the entire length. This will include the excavation and expansion of the trail of within the gas line corridor within the Northwest quadrant of the municipality. The project will also install rest areas with benches, bike racks, garbage cans, trail signage, safe pedestrian crossings at major roadways (i.e. intersection pedestrian signals and/or pedestrian crossovers), as well as landscaping and appropriate drainage work where required. This project will provide valuable skills to young children, seniors, vulnerable populations, and the general public to take an active role in the safety of their neighbourhoods, promoting sustainable communities, increasing physical and mental health, and strengthening the social and economic benefits of active transportation. This initiative will also have additional benefits of continuing to create safe and vibrant public places for all users as the town continues to educate all transportation users on the high value of using public infrastructure for mobility purposes in a safe manner.
