    Thank you for the question. There will be some improvements on Dundas Street that lead from Lions Park to better connect to the Multi-use trail on Rest Acres Road that takes you to the Brant Sports Complex.

    A trail network is being constructed by the developer for the Paris Grand subdivision that will connect to Charlton Drive and throughout the subdivision on the south side by the river as well as north of Bendemere Rd.  

    Other connections and improvements are planned as roads are renovated and properties become available to improve walkability throughout communities.
