Coquitlam is eyeing expansion of its popular "Crunch" trail.
And it's asking for the public's help before it lengthens the trek.
The city wants hikers to take an online survey before May 28 on two proposed developments of the Coquitlam Crunch:
• twinning the trail north from Eagle Ridge Park to Eagle Mountain Drive (within the BC Hydro right-of-way);
• and forging a new route along the hydro right-of-way southbound, from Dewdney Trunk Road to Mariner Way.
The online poll, which can be found at coquitlam.ca/crunchsurvey, takes less than five minutes to complete; responses are kept anonymous.
City staff want to hear from users about the Crunch's pros and cons as well as future amenities along the existing trail system.
Currently, the Coquitlam Crunch runs from Runnel Drive to the top of Westwood Plateau — terminating at Eagle Mountain Drive. The 2.2-km trail rises about 81 storeys and includes about 400 stairs in its steepest section.
It is a popular destination for Tri-City residents as well as out-of-town visitors, and is featured in many tourism guides.
