Clean up Begins on City Trails and Paths

Peterborough, ON – Seasonal maintenance on the City of Peterborough’s multi-use trails and pathways is set to begin Tuesday, August 4.  

The City will be clearing overgrown vegetation from trails and walkways. Specialized equipment will be used to cut back dense vegetation growing alongside trails and walkways. This will help restore the full width of each path and ensure vegetation is cleared two meters from trail edges where possible, to improve visibility, ensure signage is visible and keep paths and trails accessible. 

The areas where mechanical brushing is done may look a bit unsightly immediately after the work is completed, with natural debris and freshly cut vegetation. These areas will regenerate and return to a green, natural appearance relatively quickly. 

Trail users may experience some delays while work is underway.
