The Municipality has been carrying out its Active Transportation grant-funded project at the Eco-Centre, the Station Street-Main Street Corner Lot, and around the Confederation Trail areas.

Shiny Paint created this custom, hand-painted 4ft x 8ft map of Mount Stewart, highlighting its gorgeous and historic trails.

Shiny Paint also painted this custom-designed crosswalk along Smith Street to honour our heritage in the strawberry farming industry, as well as our place on the Hillsborough River.

Dozens of flowering, fruit-bearing, and ornamental trees and shrubs were planted in the area, including two Ginkgo Biloba trees (pictured in foreground). Over time these trees will offer much-needed shade and shelter to cyclists, pedestrians, residents, and even pets. Trees include multiple varieties of magnolias, cherries, apples, pears, and crabapples, as well as a mulberry tree featured facing Main Street, a horse chestnut, a Japanese maple, and a serviceberry.

More changes and additions are coming over the summer, we look forward to seeing residents and visitors enjoying the effects of this much-appreciated grant.
