The North Shore Trail Access Improvements Project will look at new access points and connections to the North Shore Trail and the Kempenfelt shoreline, which will be designed and constructed in three sites near Kempenfelt Park, St. Vincent Park, and Nelson Square.
This project, which includes recommendations for the North Shore Trail that were included in the approved 2023 Waterfront Strategic Plan Update, is being done to:
- increase access points and connections from the waterfront trail along Kempenfelt Drive to the North Shore Trail, and from the North Shore Trail to water's edge at select locations
- prioritize the naturalized state of the North Shore Trail
- improve drainage to reduce risk of pooling and flooding that impacts some areas of the trail
A preferred final design will be informed by public feedback and will guide construction work, which is expected to begin in fall 2025.
