All that's required is access to a narrow strip for pedestrians and cyclists to pass, most likely at the very back of the property along the Grand River.
Quote:who cares if you have to walk around a bump or a curve or whatever? I go on trails to go for a walk and enjoy the outdoors anyway, so the longer the better.WADR I suggest you look at the disjointed stretches of Walter Bean Trail, especially in Kitchener, and the extent of detours to go around them.
Incidentally according to http://www.walterbeantrail.ca/images/Wal...il_Map.pdf the trail is complete within the boundaries of Waterloo. Perhaps that's not surprising since this is the shortest segment. There are two major stretches in Kitchener that are yet to be completed. And of course the stretch from RIM Park to Kissing Bridge Trail through Woolwich township remains in limbo.
