Toward that end, Open Space guidelines encourage the following: ; • Work with the City to create an integrated, comprehensive open space system that links with existing city and regional trails and open space.

Regional trail connection will be maintained along CSAH 14 until parcels to the south are Improved Access to Centerville Lake assembled for development and will accommodate the revised trail alignment B.
