Eating cherries and strawberries found along a public path will soon be on the menu for people taking a stroll in one Scarborough park. This past fall, the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) unveiled a 500-metre-long accessible trail that connects the university to the nearby city-maintained trails in the Highland Creek valley. With the exception of people using mobility devices, the trail is walk-only and does not allow biking, skateboarding or rollerblading. Once the shrubs and fruit are ready to be harvested, the university says it will install various signage along the trail to communicate to the public what is safe to eat. He believes the UTSC innovation represents “an important step” in thinking through the architectural design of a university campus in the coming decades.
