Purple People Pleaser
Redesign and Reroute

The Kimberley Trails Society (KTS) is seeking proposals from qualified proponents with experience in mountain bike trail design and construction. The primary goals of this project are to refurbish, redesign, and reroute the PPP trail. Key objectives include extending the trail length from 1.45 km to 2.5 km, reducing the average grade by 4%, and introducing speed-control features (corners, berms, rollers, and grade reversals) to enhance safety while maintaining the trail’s "Blue" (Intermediate) essence as a progression step for riders.

PAVED PATHWAY PLANNING (Closed)

KTS received a grant from Active Transportation and another from Trans Canada Trail  to explore the possibility of expanding the paved pathway that would hopefully connect the existing Rails to Trails closer to the Kimberley Downtown Core.
Mcelhanney Engineering was hired to produce a plan while working closely with Teck and the City of Kimberley.

eLECTRIFY THE MOUNTAIN (closed)

eBikes are not a fad; they are a phenomenon. Sales have exploded worldwide, opening an incredible opportunity to achieve a net growth in visitors to Kimberley, the East Kootenay region and BC. Kimberley has chosen to fully embrace this opportunity by architecting a sustainable, world class trails infrastructure specifically designed for eBikes and adaptive riders.
