We’re developing a trail network plan that will guide Port Moody Council and staff as they prioritize enhancements and manage trails over the next 30 years. As part of Phase 2 public engagement, we’re seeking your feedback on key components of the draft plan. Visit engage.portmoody.ca to learn more and share your thoughts. 

Here’s how you can share your feedback:

Your input will be considered by City staff as they refine the draft trail network plan, and a public engagement summary will be shared with Council in February 2025. We anticipate the final draft plan will be presented to Council for their consideration in March 2025. 

Port Moody’s trail network includes more than 60 kilometres of trails and pathways managed by the City of Port Moody and the Tri-Cities Off Road Cycling Association (TORCA). The trail network is a part of Port Moody’s active transportation network, connecting different parts of the community. It also provides access to the urban forest and shorelines for a variety of purposes including recreation and exercise, social connection, and the enjoyment of nature.  

In recent decades, Port Moody has experienced considerable growth in demand for use of trails and changes in the types of uses and trail visits. To meet this increasing demand, the City is reviewing the current trail network and looking at how to improve the user experience. 

During Phase 1 public engagement in September/October 2023, we asked participants to tell us how they use Port Moody’s trail network, what they like about it, and how it could be improved. Find out what we heard from the community in our Phase 1 public engagement summary, which was shared with Council on January 9, 2024 (item 7.6 in the agenda package).
