Railway Corridors: Recreational paths along defunct and active railway corridors are becoming more popular as studies have shown that they improve safety as users will avoid walking on the tracks if there is a path nearby. Railway corridors are ideal for trails *as they are relatively flat, straight with fewer intersections. The Active Transportation Plan proposes a path along the east west rail corridors from Bruce Street east to the city limits and beyond. This will offer a great alternative to the Trunk/Wellington corridor which is hostile to cyclists.
