The City of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, will close parts of Mitchell Trail from March 9 to March 13, 2026, to clean up after winter storms. This work is necessary to fix damage from severe weather that hit the community in December 2025 and January 2026.

The trail will be closed to the public between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. during the cleanup period to keep workers and residents safe. People who usually walk or bike in the area are asked to find different routes while the work is being done.

The recent storms left the area with fallen trees and very wet, unstable soil. Crews will be clearing away debris and removing trees that have weak roots, even if they still look healthy on top, to prevent them from falling suddenly.

This work will also help improve water drainage in the area to keep the land stable and healthy. These repairs are part of a plan to make sure the trail is safe for everyone to use in the future.
