The Harmony Creek Trail in the City of Oshawa will be extended by approximately 1 km of paved trail and a new bridge will be built over Harmony Creek, thanks to a combined investment of $2.5 million from the federal government and the City of Oshawa. Announced by Parliamentary Secretary Ryan Turnbull and His Worship Dan Carter, this project will provide expanded opportunities for residents to be active, enjoy nature, and explore the Oshawa.
The new bridge across Harmony Creek will provide pedestrian and cyclist access between Esterbrook Drive and Arborwood Drive. By connecting to the City's existing 22 km trail system, the Harmony Creek Trail extension will provide an accessible, off-road, active transportation route for residents to walk or cycle to amenities, schools, businesses, and more. Overall, this project will provide the community with a new opportunity to get active.
This investment is part of Canada's National Active Transportation Strategy, which aims to create and improve pathways, bike lanes, and pedestrian bridges to expand Canada's active transportation network. It's a big step towards healthier living and building resilient communities, making a better-connected Canada for all.
