There has been slow progress getting approvals and permits for our current trail improvement Project in Transcona . Getting permission to have directional signage installed on trails beside busy roadways has been difficult due to complex webs of underground structures that we need to avoid . We are waiting for the last few permits for sign posts . The support structures for the large trail head signs are currently being manufactured .
One big win was having cooperation from the Costco on Regent Avenue . Following our recommendation they put lids on the garbage cans in their parking lot . This will decrease the Trash blowing onto the Transcona Trail in front of the parking lot . This area tends to have the worst Litter of all of our trails during our volunteer cleanups .
Another section of the Park City Pathway was built by a developer in 2019 . Our old and new trails are well used . The advantage of properly built trails was apparent when they were high and dry this spring while older sidewalks had major puddles .
YOUTH PHOTO CONTEST We had many entries for our contest in 2019 . We enjoyed seeing our trails through their lenses . The winners were :
