Public Consultation: Greenbelt Pathway, Bruce Pit Section
The proposed 56-kilometre Greenbelt Pathway is designed to provide a continuous and varied recreational and educational experience along the complete length of the National Capital Greenbelt, from Shirleys Bay in the west to Green’s Creek in the east. The pathway will connect many attractions, and link with other pathways within the National Capital Region.
To date, 21.5 kilometres of the Greenbelt Pathway have been completed. The next section of pathway proposed to be completed is a 1.4-kilometre pathway link between Hunt Club Road and Bruce Pit (east of Cedarview Road), via Siskin Court.
The goal of this project is to provide a cost-effective, environmentally and socially responsible route for the proposed three-metre-wide stone dust pathway, which will showcase the natural features and rural character of the Bruce Pit area, while providing a link between Cedarview Road and Hunt Club Road.
As indicated below, the proposed alignment for the pathway will be at least 30 metres from houses, and will primarily follow existing informal trails, thereby minimizing the impact on the natural environment. Very few trees will have to be removed; a thorough study was done to ensure that mature healthy trees will be safeguarded, while smaller, sick or dead specimens will be removed.
We would very much like to hear your comments. Please contact us before June 30, 2009.
