Re: Trail Surface Standards Report and Request for Representatives to
participate on the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's Trail
Guidelines Advisory Committee.
This letter is being sent along with a recent Trail Surface Standards Report that went to
the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Board Meeting #3-09, held on Friday,
April 24, 2009. At this meeting the Authority approved Resolution #A54/09:
"THAT the report on Toronto and Region. Conservation Authority (TRCA) and
municipal trail surface standards in the Toronto region be circulated to the
municipalitles in TRCA's jurisdiction."
We are also requesting that our municipal partners appoint a Councillor and staff
representative to participate on, our Trail Guidelines Advisory Committee. The purpose
for the committee is to provide input and direction towards the update of the original
TRCA Trail Planning and Design Guidelines Manual that was completed in 1992.
For your information, we will be completing the trail guidelines update in two phases.
The first phase will be a scoping process that we will start in June of this year and it will
last until the end of 2009. At this time, we anticipate. 3 meetings with the Advisory
Committee (June, September and November); to complete the first phase. The second
phase of the project will include additional research and report writing. This phase
should last approximately 1 year and we anticipate meeting 5 times during the course of
2010, to discuss and finalize the report.
As additional background information, we have. experienced an increase in public
interest in green space trails over the last number of years. Trails represent an important
part of healthy living, recreation and smart transportation in.our communities. The TRCA
created a Trail Planning and Design Guidelines Manual in 1992, which has been
referenced. extensively by municipalities. in the Greater Toronto Area. This manual is
now in need of an update in order to address new information on natural heritage
protection, trail sustainability and trail accessibility. After receiving the TRCA staff report

RE STANDARDS FOR TRAIL SURFACES
KEY ISSUE
Report on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and municipal trail surface standards in
the Toronto region.
RECOMMENDATION
THAT the report: on Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and municipal
trail standards in the Toronto region be received.
BACKGROUND
TRCA's Executive Committee requested a report on Toronto region municipal trail surfacing
standards for informational purposes. The following report is a compilation of the trail surfacing
guidelines across the region. The TRCA trail construction guidelines are included because of
the municipalities that reference TRCA guidelines as their standard.
TRCA.Trait Guidelines
The"development of trails on TRCA-owned lands is. guided by TRCA's Trail Standards and
Design Guidelines: A Handbook for an Inter -Regional Trail System "in the Greater Toronto Area
(1992).
Table 1 provides a summary of trail design and, construction criteria included vvithin TRCA's
Trail Standards and Design Guidelines.

Municipal Trail Surfacing Guidelines
Most of the municipalities in the Toronto region have informal trail construction guidelines.
Surfacing is most often determined by projected use and trail location and is decided formally
on a case by case basis. The following document outlines some local and regional municipal
surfacing guidelines and illustrates the factors involved in trail construction choices for some of
the municipalities in the Toronto region. The focus is largely on the local municipalities, and is
not exhaustive.
City of Pickering
The City of Pickering does not have any approved standard's for trail surfacing. Any trails that
are to be heavily traveled as multi -purpose trails are typically 3.Om wide asphalt surfaces. In
Pickering parks where the trails are less traveled, stone screenings on a gravel base, are used.
The City of Pickering has also considered using wood chips on some of the minor trail systems
through wooded areas, where accessibility is not as much of a concern (Arnold Mosterl, City of
Pickering).
Town of Ajax
Ajax trail surfacing specifications are subject to trail use and location.'Trail Corridors" which
connect the subdivisions and aid transportation, are paved. Bark mulch or stone screenings
are used in natural or environmentally sensitive areas (Town of Ajax; Parks Services, 2009).
Currently, Ajax is trying to promote "Trails. as Active Transportation" and will therefore be
looking to create more paved trails. Nothing is specified about the nature of the paving
materials.
M
COUNCIL AGENDA - JUNE 9, 2009
Region of .York
In York Region, multi -use trails are meant to connect walking and cycling pathways throughout
the region. However, there are no specifications on trail construction that. apply to.the York
Region as a whole in the York Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan (2008).
City of Brampton
Brampton's Block Plan Design Guidelines (2003) state that combined pedestrian/bicycle trails
shall be paved but that trail development should be limited through wood lots in order to keep
the existing vegetation healthy. Brampton's Pathway's Plan prioritizes multi -use trails and bike
routes, both of Which shall be paved. There is currently no exploration of permeable surfacing
as a viable option in the City. of Brampton trail design guidelines (City of Brampton Pathway's
Master Plan, 2002).
Town of Caledon
While trail surfacing specifications are not currently included in the Caledon Trail Master Plan
(2002), the plan is being updated for 2009 and will include construction and surfacing
guidelines for Caledon region trails. In general, trails that connect housing subdivisions to .
downtown areas are paved, while trails through natural. greenspaces are natural or limestone
screening surfacing (Caledon Public Works, 2009).
City of Toronto
The City of Toronto does not currentlyhave trail construction guidelines but does much of its
trail work in partnership with TRCA and therefore follows TRCA's guidelines and standards
(Alex Shevchuk, Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation).
Town of Richmond Will
When considering which materials to use in a trail build, the Town of Richmond Hill takes the
following factors in to consideration:
• . environmental protection; .
• safety;
• accessibility;
• desired trail experience; .
• maintenance.
Asphalt is used for surfacing main trails and some supporting connections while limestone
screening or mulch is used for nature or "challenge" trails. The trail design and construction
guidelines for Richmond Hill are well developed and can be found in the town'sParks and
Open Space Design and Construction Guidelines (2007). -
City of Vaughan .
Surface options may include. asphalt, concrete, granular and unit pavers, depending on the
pathways, intended use, setting and context. In urban areas, an asphalt surface is likely most
appropriate, but it is recognized that in natural or environmentally -sensitive areas,,a more
natural surface type maybe more suitable (City of Vaughan; Pedestrian and Bicycle Master.
Plan, 2008).
Town of Markham
All trails are constructed using asphalt (or another hard surface) over compacted limestone
screens (Lorenzo Male, Engineering Department, Town of Markham).
COUNCIL AGENDA - JUNE 9, 2009
Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville
The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville works in conjunction with TRCA on much of their trail
construction projects and follows the TRCA Trail Planning and Design Guidelines (1992) when
constructing trails in the area. This means that in town, trails are hard surface (i.e. asphalt) anc
in natural areas, trails are constructed using woodchips, or natural surfacing (Rob Raycroft,
Leisure Services, Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville).
Township of Uxbridge'
The Township of Uxbridge uses wood chips for their trails in naturalized areas and limestone.
screenings through park areas. According to Town of Uxbridge staff, when these materials are
compacted,, both surfaces are accessible and fairly easy to maintain as well as accommodate
bikes, strollers and wheelchairs for shorter distances. The Town of Uxbridge avoids the use of
asphalt because of cost considerations (Bob Ferguson, Facilities, Town of Uxbridge).
RATIONALE
Generaliy,.urb'an trails in the Toronto region intended for multi -use, especially those designed
for bikers and commuters, are paved. Nature trails and/or trails in environmentally sensitive
areas are primarily surfaced with gravel or woodchips. For the most part, the municipalities do
not follow regimented trail surface standard guidelines. One of the exceptions however, is
Richmond Hillwhich has a progressive and well formulated trail surfacing protocol that can be
reviewed in the Open Space Trail Design and Construction Guidelines (Town of Richmond Hill,
2007). Overall, trail surface is determined on a case -by -case basis and factors include trail
location, permitted uses and user numbers. .

Access -ability: York Region's 2009 Accessibility Plan approved by York Regional Council
York Regional Council today approved Access -ability. York Region's 2009 Accessibility Plan, an
action plan that outlines actions that The Regional Municipality of York will take to promote
"access -ability" throughodt the Region's programs, services and facilities.
The.2009 plan includes 77 accessibility planning initiatives from across all regional departments,
Including York Regional Police and York Region TransitNiva.
The 2009 plan was developed with advice from the York Region Accessibility Advisory
Committee and builds on the work established in the Region's five previous accessibility plans:
Understanding Barriers (2004), Moving Forward (2005), Removing Barriers (2006), Towards
Accessibility (2007) and Opening Doors (2008).
Since 2003, York Region has implemented more than 500 accessibility planning initiatives.
These range from the purchase of fully accessible buses to building fully accessible units. within
our housing properties and establishing partnerships with disability organizations.
The Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 requires all municipalities to develop annual
accessibility plans.
There are an estimated 140,000 York Region residents .with a disability. Ongoing population
growth and an aging population will pose challenges to ensure programs and services are
accessible to everyone.
You may order a copy of Access -ability via.the Region's website at www.york.ca under services/
accessibility planning. The plan will be available in print or in alternative formats such as large
print and on CD upon request.
CN Banner Signs
York Region will negotiate with CN National Railway Company (CN) to permit the installation
and maintenance of banner signs on CN overpasses. Under the terms of the arrangement, the
Region would permit CN to post banners at their expense on overpasses on Regional roads.
York Region would have the right to veto any unacceptable advertising, as per our current
advertisement policy.
With an overpass policy in place, York Region will ensure minimum disruption to traffic during
installation and maintenance of the signs as well as benefit from an improved aesthetic the
signs would provide.
York Regional Council accepts preferred vendor forproposed energy--from-waste facility
York Regional Council today.accepted Covanta Energy Corporation as the preferred vendor for
the design, construction and operation of a proposed energy -from -waste facility as part of the
Durham -York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Study process.
COUNCIL AGEND 09
tYototem lw good Co"Tany
As the preferred vendor, Covanta will execute an "Early Works" agreement with Durham Region
and York Region to provide input required to complete the current Environmental Assessment
process and develop design options. Along with the Early Works activities, both Regions will
negotiate with Covanta to finalize the draft Design, Build and Operation agreement for
consideration by Regional Council following Ministry of Environment approval of the
Environmental Assessment.
For more information on the Durham -York Residual Waste Environmental Assessment Study,
please visit www.durhamyorkwaste.ca or call 1-866-398-4423,
"Make the Drop" public space recycling/composting pilot program
York Regional Council today approved an expanded "Make the Drop" 2009 public space
recycling and composting program with the Town of Newmarket and Town of Markham in an
effort to encourage residents to divert more waste while. on the go.
An upcoming promotion and education campaign will encourage residents to recycle and
compost at Tom Taylor Trail and the Ray'Twinney Recreation Complex in. Newmarket and up to
three indoor public locations to be determined in Markham.
Waste management initiatives underway
York Region will request that Waste Diversion Ontario increase its consultation with
municipalities and the public on Extended Producer Responsibility options (increasing the
responsibility of product and packaging producers in managing the waste.they produce) related
the Blue Box program.
York Region and our local m unicipalities. strongly support shifting responsibility for product and
packaging materials from municipalities to producers. To better understand the potential future
options for management of Blue Box program materials, York Region is requesting more
information be made available to the Region and public.
Council also approved opting into the Ministry of Environment's proposed Used Tire Program
Plan and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Program Plan.
The Used Tire Program Plan would allow free tire haulage via Ontario Tire Stewardship.
Residents would be able to drop off tires free of charge.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Program Plan would provide residents with
additional locations to drop off and recycle electronic waste. This would support the.Region's
existing a -waste program, provide free transportation and processing of materials collected by.
Stewardship Ontario and provide a reimbursement of $165 per tonne for collected waste.

York Region purchased 58 community services through newly -enhanced community
fund
In 2008, The Regional Municipality of York successfully purchased the services of 58 projects
from social service agencies across the Region.through the Community Development and
Investment Fund (CDIF). Through this $3.5 million funding strategy, York Region helped
approximately 50,000 low-income residents throughout the Region.
Projects that received CDIF. funding in 2008 addressed at least one of these: three priority areas:
• Child and family supports
• Homelessness outreach and homelessness prevention programs
o Employment skill development
Through the 2008 CDIF investments:
•. Families and Schools Together linked 60 families with 227 individuals, including children, to*
meet; have a meal and discuss school programs with staff from local elementary schools
• Seneca College helped unemployed individuals build the essential skills needed for
employment in their chosen field
• A.community drop -in program for homeless and at -risk youth provided a supportive and
recreational environment, counselling services and access to nutritional supplies
Under the CDIF strategy, York Region manages community funding initiatives that include both
provincial and regional funds in a manner that enhances efficiencies and optimi2es services to
vulnerable residents..
Accessibility standards to make the Region more inclusive and
welcoming of people with disabilities
York Regional Council received. an update on the proposed standards for the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, (AODA), including an outline of Regional plans for
implementing the requirements of these standards and the financial requirements.
In addition to the Customer Service Regulation, which, on January 1, 2008, was Ontario's first
accessibility standard to come into effect, Ontario is developing four proposed standards,
including:
• The Accessible Transportation Standard
• The Accessible Built Environment Standard
• The Accessible Information and Communications Standard
• The Employment Accessibility Standard
The proposed Accessible Information and Communications Standard and the proposed
Employment Accessibility Standard are expected to come into effect this year.
COUNCIL AGEN�q,-,{((09
1 y�nr�lrJ�r�g�no�LcoH�f�si,�.
Using financial estimates from the Government of Ontario, implementing accessibility standards
may represent between $13.5 million to $40.5 million in the Region's 2009 Operating Budget.
Actual costs will be assessed when these standards are passed into law.
Implementing the standards under the AODA will allow the Region to integrate accessibility
planning into business practices and processes uniformly across all departments.
