Following “significant advancements” made in 2021, about 42 per cent of Vaughan Super Trail has been completed, the City of Vaughan said Feb. 23.

The trail is expected to be a 100-kilometre city-wide loop system, connecting off-road pathways and on-road pedestrian and cycling paths.

About six projects were finished last year, including completing parts of the Riverwalk project at Doctors Mclean District Park, designing the Bartley Smith Greenway underpass at Langstaff Park, initiating a feasibility study to close a three-kilometre gap in the Bartley Smith Greenway Trail and constructing trails within Block 55 Hydro Corridor, located in the vicinity of Teston Road and Kleinburg Summit Way.

The city also completed a feasibility study to close a seven-kilometre gap along the Humber Trail.

The city said it’s currently, working with York Region to complete the South York Greenway Cycling, Pedestrian and Micromobility Corridor feasibility study. This will form the southern segment of the Vaughan Super Trail.

This is all part of more than 130 kilometres of projects involving cycling facilities, multi-use pathways and trails in 2021.
