Users of the Seaton trail just north of the CPR trestle would have noticed the new Seaton Community Southern Outflow Project. This project collects rain water from the new development being built on the plateau and channels it into a retaining pond, down the hill via a diffusion channel into the West Duffins Creek. The project cut across part of the Seaton Trail for the last 1.5 years. The City of Pickering was responsible to complete this project with the builder. The original posted trailed closed date was Feb 12, 2018. The posted completion date was April 30, 2018. After repeat follow up emails/phone calls with the City of Pickering supervisor the work has finally been completed (Oct 10, 2019).
