says when the rail trail is eventually completed, it will be 50 kilometres in length and will traverse lakefront shorelines, forested hillsides, streams and farmlands while also travelling through rural towns.

“The finished surface will consist of crushed and compacted aggregate, suitable for pedestrian and bicycle use, as well as universal mobility access,” said the regional district. “Pedal-assisted E-bikes will be allowed. Dogs on leash will be allowed. There will be no motorized vehicles or equestrian use.”This spring and summer, rail trail work within the regional district will take place between kilometres 1.5 to 4.5.Construction will also take place on sections south of kilometres 42 to Stepney X Road, along with work between kilometres 49 and 50 at Lansdowne Road in Armstrong.

The rail trail will follow a decommissioned train line. The Splatsin Development Corporation will be the primary construction contractor.
