Trail Impacts

The existing Sumner Link Trail through the project is closed. The area where the existing trail is located is one of the first areas which will be excavated since it is closer to the river (we did almost all we could without closing the trail summer 2024). The unaffected sections of trail will remain open, and the contractor will work to avoid closing the section between 24th and 16th as long as possible. Please find alternate routes.

When the trail is replaced in 2027, it will be higher and further from the river. This will reduce both the risk of river erosion (which we’ve seen in sections) and flooding (which we have closed the trail for in the past). See the mockup of the before and after below.
