TheTown of Grimsby is excited to announce the successful completion of the Town-wide Recreational Trails Master Plan. This milestone was reached with the endorsement of the plan by the Community Services Standing Committee on November 28, 2023, where it was recognized as the foundational framework for future recreational trail development in the Town. Subsequently, on December 4, 2023, the Town Council officially backed the Recreational Trails Master Plan by approving the Community Services Committee meeting minutes, affirming their support for this comprehensive initiative.

The project encompasses a diverse range of trails, primarily off-road, catering to walking, cycling, and other forms of active recreation. Notably, the plan encompasses the renowned Bruce Trail and park pathways, trails in natural areas, hydro corridors, and extensive rail connections. Moreover, it emphasizes pathway access to waterfront areas and promotes multi-use pathways in lieu of conventional sidewalks.

The plan also prioritizes establishing more comprehensive connectivity by identifying and designing select on-road connections, with a preference for leveraging existing or previously proposed linkages. Through these concerted efforts, the Town of Grimsby aims to enhance accessibility, promote active lifestyles, and foster greater community engagement with its natural and recreational assets.

The master plan has been designed as a long-range strategic planning document which is intended to guide the monitoring, management, planning, design and implementation of recreational trail facilities and supportive programs / policies over the next 20 years. It highlights the current state of trails within the Town and aims to identify and prioritize potential trail improvement opportunities (both feasible and aspirational) to support future coordination, collaboration and innovation related to recreational trail improvements. The plan is not a commitment to specific monies or a prescriptive set of directives. It aims to provide flexible and adaptable tools and tactics to municipal staff with the aim of improving the integration of trails into day-to-day practice and processes.

We appreciate all of the insights and input that have been shard over the course of the project. We have diligently considered and responded to input received, built upon best and comparable practices and developed Grimsby specific tools and processes that respond to the opportunities and challenges related to recreational trails.

Thank you once again for your continued interest and involvement in this exciting project. We are looking forward to initiating the implementation of the plan starting in 2024 with new trail projects and programs being considered.

The Town of Grimsby Recreational Trails Master Plan project team is excited to be nearing the completion of our collaborative and exciting project. On Thursday June 22nd, a presentation was given to the Town's Community Services Standing Committee. The intent of the presentation was to provide an overview of the work completed to date on the Recreational Trails Master Plan, present the proposed recreational trails network, phasing and priorities and provide an overview of draft recommendations and next steps. We are excited to be moving forward with the development of the Recreational Trails Master Plan and look forward to presenting the report for potential adoption to Council in September / October 2023.

This update marks our final point of engagement and outreach regarding the Recreational Trails Master Plan. As we develop the master plan report and supporting documents we welcome your input on the proposed phasing, priorities and recommendations that form the basis for the plan. We will be seeking input until Friday August 18th..

Note that this plan is a guide, a flexible tool that is intended to serve as the roadmap from which Town staff can monitor, adapt, seek internal and external funding and generally influence future recreational mobility through planning, design and implementation. A number of the proposed routes reflect ongoing planning projects being completed by Town partners including but not limited to Niagara Region. The recommendations and outcomes of these projects will be determined by processes and project outside of this master plan. There will be opportunities for future consultation on specific projects before they move forward, opportunities to highlight / explore other trail opportunities and continue conversations and coordination with municipal partners.

Spring is finally in the air, that means its time again to get out on the trails and provide your feedback on future trails proposed as part of the Recreational Trails Master Plan (RTMP). Over the past few months, the RTMP team has been working at finalizing the RTP network. This has included reviewing and adapting our proposed trail network based on feedback heard at the second round of engagement and conducting further analysis on potential candidate routes in order to confirm the proposed recreational trails network, trail design solutions, implementation priorities and phasing.

On June 22nd, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. the RTMP team will be presenting a project update to the Community Services Standing Committee. We invite you to join this presentation either virtually or in-person to learn more about the project recommendations and to provide your input one last time prior to developing the recreational trails master plan report - which will occur over the summer. Come join us to finalize the Town's Recreational Trails Master Plan!

Happy new year from the Town of Grimsby Recreational Trails Master Plan team! It's 2023 and we're working towards finalizing the remaining pieces of the Town's Recreational Trails Master Plan (RTP). Since the second round of engagement, we have been working on :

The intent is to proceed with the remaining technical tasks with the intent of completing the Recreational Trails Master plan by Fall 2023 including a presentation to Town Council anticipated for May / June 2023 - all members of the public and stakeholder are welcome; please wait for further notification on the presentation date/time.

It is important to note that all formal engagement and outreach has been completed for this project. Information will continue to be shared and if you have any questions or comments please contact grimsby...@cima.ca.

A Recreational Trails Master Plan for the Town of Grimsby is underway. Your feedback is needed on the Draft Proposed Trail Network and corresponding design guidelines. There are a number of ways you can participate in this round of public consultation.

The Grimsby Recreational Trails Master Plan Technical Report #1 is now available for viewing. This report is provided for information purposes only as a 'snap shot' of the study progress, findings and engagement activities between the project launch in July 2021 and the wrap-up of Round 1 Engagement in November 2021.

The Project Team has used the foundations reflected in the Technical Report #1 to move into Phase 4 of the project - the development of the outline and initial recommendations. This material will be presented in Round 2 Engagement, just getting underway in April 2022.

The purpose of the project initiation phase is to ensure that there is confirmation of the frameworks and that initial outreach and communication is achieved to notify members of the public and stakeholders of the initiation of the project.

The purpose of the background review and data collection / analysis phase is to gather the necessary information to provide the foundations of the master plan development. This includes a more robust understanding of the existing infrastructure and destinations, policy, planning, design, and decision-making context as well as investigation of comparable municipalities and their experiences and lessons learned undertaking / preparing plans of a similar nature.

The purpose of the initial recommendations phase is to confirm and design the proposed trails network for the Town of Grimsby and to develop the necessary policies and practices to support a long-term shift towards more recreational trail use within the Town.

The intent of the second round of community consultation will be to inform Phase 4 of the work plan review and confirming the proposed network and supporting guidelines and practices / policies while gathering input on the preferred priorities to inform the phasing plan and implementation strategy.
