Oakmont Trail
Consultation has concluded

Welcome to the Oakmont Trail Project
This project will ask residents for their input about the potential options for completion of the Red Willow Trail System along and into the Oakmont neighbourhood.
The project is divided into three segments:
- Old Bellerose Trail
- Oak Point to Otter Crescent
- Oakbay Point to Botanica
We are eager to work with you to better understand your views on the pros, cons and trade-offs of different ways to complete this area of the Red Willow Trail system.
We will keep you informed, listen to and acknowledge your concerns and aspirations, and provide feedback on how public input influenced the decision. We will seek your feedback on drafts and proposals.
