Jane’s Ride
Sunday May 3

Warden Hilltop Community Centre, 25 Mendelssohn St, Scarborough, ON M1L

The creation of the West Scarborough Rail Trail is threatened by TTC plans to build a two-train pocket track at Warden Subway Station.
We invite you to join one of 4 rides that cater to every level of cyclist to learn about the trail and ways you can support its creation.
The WSRT was first proposed over 50 years ago by U of T graduate students, was affirmed at City Council in 2005, is included in the Warden Woods Secondary Plan and endorsed by the last 3 local city council members. Now the TTC wants to park two trains overnight on the historic GECO “Bomb Girls” bridge and rail bed that is critical for the creation of the WSRT.
The trail follows a Hydro corridor, the historic GECO bridge and rail bed and a CN Rail line from Warden Subway Station to Kennedy Subway Station. The West Scarborough Rail Trail is the missing link in what could be a 25 km trail system connecting Lake Ontario to Rouge National Park via the Don Valley Trail and the Meadoway.
All Jane’s Ride will start at 10:00am on Sunday May 3, 2026 at Warden Hilltop C.C.
4 levels of rides from beginner to experienced will be offered to accommodate all levels of cyclist.
Jane’s Ride (The Family, Beginner and Intermediate Rides will be primarily off-street and out and back rides; the Experienced Ride will be a loop and have some on-street sections)
Family Ride – 4 km Warden Hilltop to Pharmacy Ave. and back.
Beginner Ride – 7 km Warden Hilltop to Dawes Rd. and back.
Intermediate Ride – 13 km Warden Hilltop to Taylor Creek Dog Park (at
the Don Valley Trail) and back.
Experienced Ride – 15 km Loop to Taylor Creek Dog Park (at the Don
Valley Trail), north on the East Don Trail, east on Eglinton and south on
Warden then back to Warden Hilltop. Please note that the experienced ride will
have some on street sections.
