Approximately 16 km of primary (paved) and secondary (gravel) trails have been developed to connect the river valley main trail with new communities in east Edmonton. This initiative had a budget of $8.5 million and was being funded by the River Valley Alliance, the provincial and federal governments and the City of Edmonton. This expansion involved two trails constructed along the following alignment:
North Trails
- A primary asphalt trail from Hermitage Park along the north river bank to the south end of 17 Street
- A trail route designation up 17 Street to the Quarry Golf Course
- A secondary granular trail running north from the Quarry Golf Course to the east end of 167 Avenue
South Trails
- A secondary granular trail west of the Anthony Henday Bridge
- One kilometre of secondary trail (gravel) has been upgraded in Goldstick Park
- A future secondary trail will be extended east of the Anthony Henday Bridge to 17 Street
River Crossing
-
A pedestrian link across the Anthony Henday Bridge constructed by the Province of Alberta
The East End Trails were completed in fall 2018.
