I hope the $400 million fund announced by the federal government can fund most of these trails. I'm especially looking forward to eventually having a continuous trail from the West Don Trail (T15) to the Don River all the way from Dufferin/Steeles to the Martin Goodman Trail.
Not even close.
Toronto's share of that fund is under 10% on a per capita basis.
That wouldn't cover one phase of the new trail below the Bluffs.
Now, there are stretches, such as in Hydro Corridors that are relatively cheaper to do.
Valley trail costs vary widely depending on the number of water crossings, railway crossings etc, as well as the need to mitigate elevation changes.
If the money flows this year; it would likely support some of the projects already showing 'green' (in planning) above.
So, the Meadoway, Rail Path extensions, Beltline, work up in Brampton, and maybe, maybe some of the below the Bluffs Waterfront Trail, if it also gets City and possibly provincial support.
If its not in planning, you won't see it worked on physically in the next 2 years.
What the money might allow for is advancing planning on some additional trail.
