Active Transportation along Route 248 – N. York River Rd

Updated: April 2021

The Rural Municipality of Warren Grove has been exploring options to increase safety and active transportation along Route 248 (North York River Rd.). The road is frequently used by cyclists and joggers and currently has no paved shoulder. In addition to the absence of a paved shoulder, frequent speeding of passenger and commercial vehicles combined with slow-moving agricultural vehicles increases safety risk to pedestrians and cyclists.

The proposed protected (separated from the road) multi-use active transportation trail for walkers, runners, bikers, etc. is approximately 6km along Route 248, between Route 1 and Route 2, through Cornwall, Warren Grove and Miltonvale Park. It would link the new Cornwall Active-Transportation Cycleway and the Confederation Trail.

The map below highlights the proposed route along Rte 248 (in blue), the Cornwall/Charlottetown Cycleway (in green) and the Confederation Trail (in pink).
