New 9km active transportation trail announced for St. Peter’s

The provincial government and ACOA have announced a new 9km stretch of active transportation trail that will connect Islanders and visitors to the Greenwich National Park from the St. Peter’s area.  The St. Peter’s Area Development Corporation applied to the province’s Active Transportation Fund looking for assistance in developing the trail.  The province has committed to $4 million in funding, while ACOA is contributing $625,000.  The 9km stretch of trail will begin at Route 16 – Northside Road and connect users to the existing trails at the Greenwich National Park. The province will begin work on the trail as soon as possible with hopes to complete the work by Fall.
