The Government of Canada is investing more than $1.3 million to expand and update the Trans Canada Trail.
With funding from the federal government and the Town of Tecumseh, the final extensions and restorations will be made to the Riverside Drive pathway, which connects Tecumseh to the City of Windsor and the Municipality of Lakeshore. The project includes connecting the multi use pathway from Arlington Boulevard to Kensington Boulevard and the installation of additional safety features along the existing pathway along Riverside Drive and Brighton Road. This extension and installation of safety features will create a safe and accessible 5.3km multi-use pathway for residents.
The Active Transportation Fund (ATF) supports projects that build new and expanded networks of pathways, sidewalks, bike lanes and trails to support affordable, greener, and healthier options for Canadians to access their communities by walking, cycling, and through the use of human-powered or hybrid mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters, e-bikes, rollerblades, snowshoes, cross-country skis, and more.
Active transportation delivers meaningful benefits to communities across Canada. It helps families save time on their daily commutes, creates jobs, supports economic growth, encourages healthier lifestyles, reduces air and noise pollution, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. Together, we are building a healthier, more sustainable, and better-connected Canada.
