Mainland North Linear Parkway Trail Extension Survey


HNWTA is hoping to extend the Mainland North Linear Parkway Trail over the next 3-4 years to join up with the recently completed Chain of Lakes Trail. The first phase of construction will hopefully start in Spring 2012, extending the current trail from the corner of Main Ave/Veronica Dr. to Washmill Lake Dr. along the power line corridor. We would love your input! Please fill out the 10-question survey. And even if you do not use the trails, please fill out the survey, and let us know why. Your input on the future of outdoor space in Halifax is important."
