Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail
Construction Update: December 2025

Site set-up activities are underway for the Brimley Road South Multi-Use Trail, with the initial mobilization of the staging and stockpiling area in the northern end of the Bluffer’s Park boat launch parking lot completed in the fall, and the installation of tree protection hoarding recently completed throughout the majority of the site.

Erosion and sediment control installation has begun and will continue into the new year.

Starting in January 2026, the contractor will be preparing for full mobilization, which will include further expansion of the staging area and closing of the western access ramp to the Bluffer’s Park west parking lot, as shown in the figure below.

Access will still be provided to the Bluffer’s Park west parking lot via the eastern access ramp.

Once all mobilization activities have been completed, tree removals will begin, and will be followed by the installation of traffic control measures and temporary road widening works to facilitate a temporary pedestrian walkway along the west side of the road during construction.

More updates to come in the new year – stay tuned!

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), in partnership with the City of Toronto, launched the Scarborough Waterfront Project with a vision of creating a system of public greenspaces along the Lake Ontario shoreline between Bluffer’s Park and East Point Park.

This system will respect and protect the significant natural and cultural features of the Bluffs, enhance terrestrial and aquatic habitat, and provide a safe and enjoyable waterfront experience.
