Welcome to the project page for the West Side multi-use trail, in the Clair Hills neighbourhood of the City of Waterloo.
The proposed West Side multi-use trail will be approximately 450 metres, connecting St. Moritz Avenue to the eastern boundary of Generation Park (formerly known as the West Side Employment Lands, near Costco) to the west. The trail provides a connection to the future neighbourhood bikeway on St. Moritz Avenue and Montpellier Drive as part of the City of Waterloo’s Transportation Master Plan Update, and a future community multi-use trail as part of the City’s West Side Employment Lands Urban Design Guidelines.
The City has retained AECOM to provide engineering services for the design of this project.
The objective of the asphalt trail is to provide a mid-block connection between the existing residential, institutional, and green space areas east of the Hydro One corridor to the developing commercial, residential and industrial areas part of Generation Park. The trail will form an extension of the existing multi-use trail network east of St. Moritz Avenue that extends to the north and east to Keats Way and Brandenburg Boulevard. The new trail will serve pedestrians, cyclists and other active modes by making a key connection in the City’s off-road trail network. The trail will connect to proposed multi-use trails along Copper Street and will connect to the future green walkway part of Generation Park east-west connection through the site. This will provide key connections across the Hydro One corridor to the existing communities to the east & west.
The trail alignment shown below is designed based on existing topography and accessibility.
If interested, please take the time to provide feedback in our Comments section. Feedback in our comment section will be open until March 3, 2023.
Details regarding this project will be added and updated in the News Feed section of this site as the project progresses.

We live in 505 St Moritz Ave, which neighbors the greenway where the pathway will be created. From your drawings, the path will run parallel to our lot line so I would like to know what steps are being taken in regards to the landscaping so that we retain a certain level of privacy from the pathway. We would like trees and or tall hedges planted between the path and the side of our property to help reduce the amount of increased visibility now coming into our house through the windows from people using this pathway.
