A new 12km cycling loop will be officially opened on the 24th of May.
The trail goes through an area bordered approximately by McCowan, McNicoll, Birchmount and Huntingwood Avenues. It originated as a spontaneous idea of a local resident: connect existing paths and low-traffic streets, mark the route with its official signs and tell folks about this new way to get around in the neighbourhood. Great support came from various City departments, the local councillors, and the City's Environment and Energy Office awarded this community project a Live Green Toronto grant.
The Opening Event will be on the 24th of May at the L'Amoreaux Recreation Centre, located at 2000 McNicoll Ave (intersection with Kennedy Road). There will be exhibits, a bike Rodeo run by Toronto Police for the smaller children, and at 2 pm, Councillor Del Grande and Councillor Chin Lee will officially declare the green Loop as "open". Folks are encouraged to bring their bicycles and participate in the guided rides after the ceremonies.
The event is hosted by the Friends of the North Scarborough Green Loop and the TRCA, and supported by Councillor Chin Lee, Councillor Mike Del Grande and Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly. For more details, see https://www.facebook.com/nsgreenloop or contact Erhard Kraus at erhard.interlog@gmail.com
