The soon-to-be-constructed NEW ARBORWOOD RECREATIONAL PAVED TRAIL SECTION plus PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, will extend the existing north east Oshawa trail along Harmony Creek on the EAST SIDE of Grandview St. N. behind Esterbrook Drive. Note that at this time the City is looking for feedback to be considered as part of the design and related to accessibility, such as rest areas, viewing areas, and amenities along the trail.

The extension will begin just beyond the Esterbrook Stormwater retention pond, where the trail currently ends. Here the new trail will go east and cross the Harmony Creek at a elevated bridge to be constructed behind Arborwood Parkette.
Then it continues NORTH (on the east side of the creek, west of ARBORWOOD DR and west of KUNKING CRT) and includes a pedestrian crossing at WOODSTREAM AVE, and ends at Conlin Rd E
Copied below is a map staff posted yesterday on the City's website and here is a link to the Notice of the Trail Study https://www.oshawa.ca/.../notice-to-extend-the-harmony... and here is the CALL FOR PUBLIC FEEDBACK, OPEN UNTIL 4pm MON, FEB 12, 2024 : https://www.oshawa.ca/.../parks-planning-and-development...
Note there also is good news that the bulk of the trail construction costs were approved under a grant from the Canadian government. Although this trail extension was planned over a decade ago and endorsed by Oshawa Council with the 2015 Oshawa Active Transportation Master Plan, as well as being on the City's Development Charges By-law, funding for it was secured recently when the City was awarded a $1,500,000 Federal Active Transportation Fund Grant towards the construction costs.
