Committee hears trails update: new counters, maintenance plan and about 20,000 annual uses
Summary
Presenter reported newly installed trail counters and estimated roughly 20,000 uses per year on monitored corridors; committee discussed gaps in counts, bridge repairs funded by RTP, partner assessments and producing a 3‑year budget/annual report for finance review.
Presenter reviewed new counters installed along Black Dog Hills/Blackhawk Hills trails (some deployed May 2025), said additional counters are planned to fill gaps and described work to reconcile older field counters with newer, remotely accessible devices. "It's about 20,000 in that range. 20,000 uses per year," the presenter said when summarizing annualized counts after algorithm adjustments.
Members asked about comparing old and new camera locations and requested more documentation on the trail partnership’s formal agreement and three‑year budget. Presenter said the RTP‑funded bridge repair project was roughly $250,000 with about $200,000 from grants and noted partner assessments (for example, Village of Orangeville contributes about $8,250) that support on‑going maintenance. Committee asked staff to prepare more information and an annual report to support finance‑committee review.
