The City of Vaughan has partnered with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to complete a feasibility study to explore ways to expand the Humber Trail and connect a seven-kilometre gap between Boyd Conservation Area and Steeles Avenue West.

The Humber Trail Feasibility Study started in May 2018 and explores potential routes for the new trail. The study aims to select options that balance the current and future recreational and transportation needs of residents with the ecological functions of the natural heritage system of the Humber River Valley, ensuring the protection and enhancement of environmental features and functions. 

The project is now entering its next phase and the City would like to engage the public on findings to date.

Engagement on the Humber Trail Feasibility Study is now closed.

From Monday, June 8 to Sunday, July 4, 2021, the City invited the community to provide input on several aspects of the feasibility study, including proposed route options and priority projects. We also asked for your thoughts and ideas on how to encourage more residents to use Vaughan’s trails. Thank you to those who participated. 

The final feasibility study report (PDF) and a summary of feedback collected from the community (PDF) was presented in Vaughan Council in fall 2021. Timelines for the detailed design and construction on each segment will be subject to securing funding for implementation.

    Humber Trail Prioritization Survey

    72 responses

    The study has identified five areas, one within each study segment of the proposed trail, that may be prioritized for construction in the near future. These areas can be built sooner than other areas of the trail because they have fewer permitting requirements, are located on land owned or managed by the City and/or TRCA, avoid environmentally sensitive areas and would be less costly to implement. 

    Help us prioritize which sections should be built first! Your feedback will help project partners decide where to focus construction efforts.
