Toronto's newest trail: a 1.1 km multi-use path and pedestrian bridge to explore

A brand-new multi-use trail and bridge has opened in Scarborough, part of a large-scale project transforming Toronto's hydro corridor lands.

The new stretch belongs to The Meadoway, a planned 16 km green corridor that will eventually link the East Don Trail with Rouge National Park.

What to know about the new Meadoway trail

Where is the new trail section?

According to the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), the newly opened portion runs from south of Arsandco Park, across Midland Avenue, to Marcos Boulevard, south of Lawrence Avenue East.

What was added?

The section now features a 1.1 km multi-use trail, a signalized crossing at Midland Avenue, and a pedestrian-cyclist bridge over a tributary of Highland Creek.

What is The Meadoway?

Per the TRCA, The Meadoway will be a 16-kilometre urban greenspace designed for walking, cycling, and other activities.

Once complete, the project will transform roughly 200 hectares of hydro corridor lands into one of Canada's largest naturalized urban green spaces, according to the TRCA.

Where will The Meadoway connect?

The corridor will connect the East Don Trail to the west with Rouge National Urban Park to the east, ultimately creating a continuous route through Scarborough and linking communities across the region.

What will The Meadoway include once it's finished?

It will link seven river systems, 15 parks, 16 kilometres of trails, 13 neighbourhoods, 100 hectares of meadow, and more than 1,000 species of flora and fauna.

How did the project begin?

The Meadoway launched in 2018, building on the success of the Scarborough Centre Butterfly Trail in 2012, per the TRCA.

The project also advances the TRCA's Trail Strategy goal of establishing a 1,000-kilometre regional trail network.

The network will stretch from Lake Ontario to the Greenbelt and, per the TRCA, will connect to the Loop Trail, an initiative led in partnership by the City of Toronto, Evergreen, the Toronto Foundation, and TRCA.
