Scarborough Director of Planning and Codes Autumn Speer tell us more about the Trails and Sidewalks Master Plan in the proposed FY2026 capital budget. The Plan will identify new trails and trail networks, as well as incorporate new sidewalks and shared use paths throughout Town. It will also include strategies and recommendations for maintenance and managing usage to avoid user conflicts and ensuring critical habitat and wildlife area protected in and around trails. The Plan will provide targeted timeframes for completion and identify funding sources.

Future planning and design investments like this one make up just 9% of the capital budget, with the majority going toward maintaining services and some for service improvements. Learn more about the proposed FY2026 budget.
