Agreement Number:
-
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 4, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
This study provides a technical assessment for a proposed new off-road active trail extending the existing “Rail Trail” from the Town of Kemptville to the northern municipal boundary. The proposed trail extension follows a former rail corridor owned in part by the Municipality of North Grenville and the City of Ottawa. The Municipality of North Grenville will collaborate with the City of Ottawa (who will submit a complementary ATF technical assessment study) to plan a seamless off-road AT link between Ottawa and Kemptville. The studies will together identify the requirements and costs to implement the first comfortable cycling linkage (12km in length) between these two adjacent rural population centers of 4,000 and 2,700 residents. This planned off-road cycling link would bypass 15 km on-road shared-lane conditions mixing cyclists with heavy high-speed traffic.
