Project Background
On November 2022, the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville initiated a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment to explore how the existing off-road multi-use trail southeast of Ken Betz Court should be connected to the existing trails in the Madori Parklands. There are many existing and planned trails throughout the community, both local and regional. The Town has developed an extensive trail system, primarily informed by the Town’s Active Transportation Servicing Plan to deliver new trails as part of the Town’s annual capital projects portfolio.
The Project is identified within the Active Transportation Servicing Plan as an off-road multi-use trail and will provide an important linkage between the Stouf Con Eight development and the existing parklands at Madori Park.
The Project is located in lands within the development known as “Stouf Con Eight” and through lands owned by the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and Townlands, in the Community of Stouffville. An existing, discontinuous, granular off-road multi-use trail exists within a portion of the project boundary, immediately southeast of Ken Betz Court.
On December 8, 2023, the Town notified stakeholders and residents of the transition from Schedule B to "exempt" status, following changes made to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.
Upcoming Activities (weather permitting)
Late-June: Completion of archaeological assessment.
July 2 - 16: Mobilization, erosion and sediment control, tree protection, clearing & grubbing.
July 18 - August 8: Excavation, rough grading, abutment construction.
Public Information Presentation
Consultation with Stakeholders (public, Indigenous communities, and agencies) is a key component of the design process. A Public Information Presentation will be held to share the detailed design along with and overview of the studies completed in support of the project. The presentation will be posted prior to construction.
