4:45 pm – 6:15 pm
Sport Yukon Building – Boardroom #1


MINUTES1.0 Welcomed, signed in - Marc

4.0 Peewee Hill Trail Update
  • -  The area was visited by City employees and the proposed trail was
    deemed not sustainable for the area.
  • -  Noted that the process on this area began approximately a year and a
    half ago and a lot of time could have been saved if the area could have
    been scouted by the City earlier.
  • -  The new proposed avenue of widening and lessening the grade on the
    existing Peewee Hill Trail is what the City is currently proposing.

Pee Wee Hill 
For many years, the Riverdale Community Association has heard residents' concerns about the Pee Wee Hill trail (the Pee Wee Hill trail leads up to the Hidden Lakes area from the powerline trail behind Hyland Crescent). These concerns have been centred around the trail being too slippery, particularly in winter and in the late spring; and potential trail user conflict between the different users accessing the trail. As a result of these concerns, Riverdale Community Association (RCA) explored a number of options, including installing an alternative path up to the top of Pee Wee Hill. The RCA recently learned that this option has been rejected by the City. 

The City's preference is that the Pee Wee Hill trail be regraded and widened to improve accessibility for users, and access up Pee Wee Hill for firetrucks. This was requested by the City Fire Department in order to reach wildland fires in the greenbelt more easily. 
​

The RCA will continue working with the City to ensure that there is adequate access for fire trucks and to address trail safety and use. We would like to hear from Riverdale residents on your thoughts on the Pee Wee Hill trail. Please let us know where you have challenges, and what you think the best solutions might be. You can email us with your suggestions or any questions at: riverdale.c.a@gmail.com.
