The Durham Regional Police have officially confirmed that regular patrols and new signage are being implemented on our Waterfront Trail.

As a Whitby resident, who frequents the Waterfront Trail every other day, I'm asking for the Durham Regional Police to randomly patrol these trails. Perhaps signage stating the trails are patrolled would be good idea as well. I recently had a frightening experience with three, terrorizing bullies, and I do not want these types to overtake our trails. It's OUR trail and together with the Town of Whitby and the DRPD, it can be safe again.

All people should be able to enjoy the waterfront trail without fear. If the Police can't provide routine patrols of the area, then at least put in security cameras.
The waterfront trail is not only a local but a national treasure. As more people discover it will inevitably attract the bad and the ugly. It is our responsibility for the good of the many to discourage the bullies, the abusive disrespectful few from disrupting the enjoyment of the waterfront trail. We have a voice, let’s make it be heard loud and clear.
I never want to get a terrifying call from my mom about people on the trail that have made her feel very unsafe and scared again.
That goes for all the Durham trails. I had to stop using the Oshawa Creek Trail due to hoods on bikes buzzing by me on bikes within inches of each side of me. It’s a shame that good people can’t enjoy these trails that our tax dollars pay for because of these losers!
I'm scared to go on the trails by myself, day or night and I live directly the waterfront trail!
Absolutely!!
Keep Whitby safe

Agree, our paths and parks need police presence. Too many times have my walks and runs been compromised by undesirables including their out of control dogs.
