Construction commenced last month on the new loop trail connecting ƛ̓éxətəm (tla-hut-um) Regional Park, formerly known as Colony Farm Regional Park to Skyline Park.
The City continues to currently seek input from Port Coquitlam residents for potential trek names until April 7.
All residents can submit name suggestions at portcoquitlam.ca/pocotrek. Council and City staff will review names and announce the trek name at the ribbon-cutting ceremony in the early summer.
The new trek will be seamlessly incorporated into the existing trail infrastructure of the 25.3-kilometre Traboulay PoCo Trail network and include:
- Updated access points with a new pedestrian crossing to connect the trail to ƛ̓éxətəm (tla-hut-um) Regional Park
- Improvements to the existing pedestrian crossing at Eastern Drive to Skyline Park
- Installation of wayfinding signage and bridge crossings with a variety of natural elements
- New waste bins and bike racks
The installation of the trail is a major enhancement to Port Coquitlam's pedestrian connections and helps create a more livable and vibrant City for residents and visitors alike. The trek is nature-based and the unique construction will impact less than 1% of existing vegetation.
As construction progresses, residents can stay up to date at portcoquitlam.ca/pocotrek.
