Nose Hill Park

Since the City passed the Nose Hill Trails Policy in the spring CMBA has been very active working to mitigate the negative aspects of this policy and implement the policy initiatives that support fair sustainable access to the Park. Over the summer and fall Nose Hill saw some dramatic changes. Regular users will have noticed the orange snow fencing, closure signs, metal stakes and rototilled trails signifying trails closed to all users. What is not apparent is the imposition of bicycle-only closures because the city has yet to erect these signs. Bicycle-only closures means you are pretty well restricted to one route from each point of entry to get you to the top, and there are no ways to connect the bottoms of these routes other than a brisk ride along a shoulderless, high-speed (80-90 km.h) motorway.
