As it stands, that is a solid wall of privately-owned lots with no official way past - unless the Region purchases a small strip somewhere to make a proper, sanctioned pathway, I think all this discussion is moot.
I am curious as to this particular issue, first, I'm not sure why a parcel is needed. After all, a parcel is not needed for a driveway from a road to a parking lot at the front of these places. Presumably, the trail could just connect to the properties in the same way. I don't understand why a business would object to this either, would they not want to make their property more accessible to potential customers?
