Good Morning,
The City is continuing negotiations with Infrastructure Ontario who owns the land and leases it to the City. With pressures on budgets at this time it is too early to predict an outcome. With respect to the closure and fence we will have staff check this and continue to monitor it.
City playgrounds are subject to monthly inspections and yearly audits to maintain their CSA certification. While equipment may appear to be in satisfactory condition based on appearance the criteria for assessing its condition is much more comprehensive.
As soon as we have information to share about the trail closure we will make it available.

Thank-you,

David Plant
