Toronto is one step closer to creating a major trail connection that will make it easier to explore the city's largest green spaces. The city is moving forward with plans to connect the Loop Trail to The Meadoway, filling a significant gap in Toronto's growing network of ravine and multi-use trails.
On July 15, the Infrastructure and Environment Committee reviewed a report from the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry, outlining options for creating the future trail link. The project is part of Toronto's larger Ravine Strategy, which aims to create a connected network of trails, parks, and natural spaces across the city.
The Loop Trail is an 80-kilometre multi-use route linking Toronto's major trail systems, including the Don and Humber ravines, the Finch Hydro Corridor, the Martin Goodman Trail, and the Beltline Trail. The Meadoway currently ends at Eglinton Avenue East. Once connected, the eventual goal is to link Rouge National Urban Park, the Loop Trail and The Meadoway in one continuous route.
Work is underway through a partnership between the City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), and community partners. New sections of trail are set to open in summer 2026, with the full connection expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
