NOTICES In late 2016, the Region of Waterloo and City of Waterloo worked collaboratively to acquire funding through the Federal Government Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF). The funding is being used to examine a potential realignment of the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) within the existing rail corridor between the University of Waterloo lands and the Farmers Market area in Woolwich. When completed, it will connect people to the new ION system, the Waterloo Central Railway and the Farmers Market area. It will benefit residents, commuters and tourists using active transportation modes of travel as well as improve access for transit. Consultant WSP Canada Group, Kitchener has been retained to assist in the planning and design. The project has been broken out into two distinct portions based on the scope of work and desired outcome. Stage One will develop the detailed design and estimated cost of a multi-use trail within the railway right- of-way between Farmers Market Road and Northfield Drive.The completed detailed design will position the City for future infrastructure funding opportunities when/should they arise. Stage Two is a feasibility analysis for the TCT route between Northfield Drive and the Research and Technology Park. It will identify potential alternative routes, evaluate the alternatives, select a preferred route and prepare the preliminary design. The results of Stage Two will inform detailed design at a later date, yet to be determined. A Public Information Centre (PIC) has been planned where members of staff and the project team will be available to respond to questions. Details of this PIC are: Thursday November 30th, 2017 Drop in any time between 6pm and 8pm Community Room, Albert McCormick Community Centre 500 Parkside Drive, Waterloo ON.
