VICTORIA PARK COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN<br />
The maintenance <strong>of</strong> trail infrastructure is also im<strong>port</strong>ant to create ease <strong>of</strong> movement<br />
between different park spaces and destinations. In the winter months the Boardwalk<br />
and Promenade should continue to serve as the park’s principle pedestrian<br />
thoroughfares. As such, the boardwalk should be regularly cleared <strong>of</strong> snow and<br />
maintained to reduce slip hazards to ensure that running, cycling, and wheeled use can<br />
continue year-round. At four meters wide the Promenade is designed to accommodate<br />
a generous pedestrian lane that can be cleared <strong>of</strong> snow in addition to an uncleared lane<br />
for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.<br />
Snow should not be cleared <strong>of</strong>f Primary Trails as to facilitate more cross-country skiing<br />
and snowshoeing. With s<strong>port</strong>s fields and tennis courts unusable in the wintertime, it is<br />
im<strong>port</strong>ant to ensure that there is op<strong>port</strong>unity year-round for more intensive activities.<br />
Additionally, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are more desirable within a forest<br />
setting. Secondary Trails, although not wide enough to allow for skiing, should also<br />
accommodate snowshoeing and hiking.<br />
