New multi-use trail will run from Fairview to Lakeside

The tracks are coming up and HRM is getting ready to construct a new 8.8 kilometre-long multi-use trail running from Joseph Howe Drive to the Lakeside Industrial Park.
CN sold its decommissioned railway corridor — known as the Chester Spur Line — to HRM in August for $2.7 million.

“It will be an active transportation corridor to encourage cycling, inline skating, skateboarding, walking, strol-lers, motorized scooters and wheelchairs, and anything like that, but no ATVs,” Coun. Linda Mosher said.
