A portion of Peterborough’s Trans-Canada Trail will get a $428,972 facelift pending final approval by city council.

Council accepted a report Monday night outlining the budget for improvements to a 1.2- kilometre section of the trail running from the corner of Bethune and Brock streets to Bonaccord St.

The upgrades include hard surfacing of the trail, crossing upgrades to enhance safety where the trail intersects with Park, McDonnel and Reid streets and the installation of new lighting in the vicinity of the old railway crossing.
