Detailed Design Process

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) has completed the Detailed Design Process for the Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail and the Scarborough Waterfront Project (SWP) West Segment Shoreline and Multi-Use Trail.

Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail

This component of the SWP West Segment includes construction of an at-grade 3.0 to 5.1 metre wide paved and illuminated trail along the east side of Brimley Road South, starting at Barkdene Hills and ending at Bluffer’s Park Road.

West Segment – Shoreline and Multi-Use Trail

This component of the SWP West Segment includes:

  • An expanded headland off both Bluffer’s Park and Meadowcliffe
  • A significantly larger sand beach
  • A paved, separated 5.8m wide recreational multi-use trail to accommodate both pedestrian and cyclist usage along the beach, along with a 4.0m wide pedestrian trail along the new Bluffer’s Park headland
  • Enhanced aquatic and terrestrial habitat

Central & East Segment

It is expected that Central Segment design works will begin after the start of West Segment shoreline and multi-use trail construction, and that East Segment design works will be initiated after the start of Central Segment construction.

Timelines for each phase will be dependent on project funding and are yet to be determined.

Public Engagement Events

Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail Project
December 6 to 13, 2021

In December 2021, TRCA in partnership with the City of Toronto hosted a Virtual Open House for the Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail Project.

Through this event, details on the revised 60% design, impacts and mitigation measures associated with construction, and next steps in the process were provided.

The Virtual Open House materials were accessible from December 6 to 13 for a self-guided review of informative panels/tiles, a video presentation, design drawings, and key maps, with a live question-and-answer (Q&A) event hosted on December 8.

Relevant event materials can be found below.
