Council of the Town of The Blue Mountains, in response to a request by the Beaver River Trail Working Group, has expressed interest in stopping up and closing a portion of Alice Street, Russell Street and Arthur Street and convert the lands into a permanent public park.  At the November 10, 2025, Council Meeting, Council issued a Proclamation for the Beaver River Trail and directed Staff to commence the process required to stop up and close the road allowances and convert to a Public Park and a natural corridor.

The proposal includes the creation of a parcel of land to be owned by the Town for park purposes, and to consider a Zoning By-law Amendment application to place the lands into the Open Space ‘OS’ zone in order to recognize and permit the proposed park use.
