Article about a hiking and biking trail, referenced only to the primary source content of the local government that built and operates it rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage about it. As always, every piece of municipal infrastructure on earth is not automatically guaranteed a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- the question is whether independent sources have paid it enough attention to make its existence noteworthy, not just whether its owner's own self-published website provides technical verification of existence.

Hi Bearcat, I created this page as one of my first Wikipages because of large of a project this is. It runs through several cities, sparked multiple stories in the media for many years, and still ongoing. I can do a basic Google Search and pull up a few newspapers covering the story. Local papers and Provincial. The CRD is actually a government entity that runs projects on the Island. Furthermore, you can't have the EN Trail without the various other trails such as the Galloping Goose, which are smaller in scope. You would be hard pressed to find anyone saying that trailis not of extreme importance to the day to day function of multiple cities on the Island. Even the Mayor during the last debates had it as a major issue during the last Victoria mayoral election To be quite blunt, the EN Trail has upturned everyone's life in Victoria and beyond do to the extensive years of ripping up all the major roads to build this trail between several cities.
Here are some story links: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/rail-trail-langford-victoria-1.3896466 https://www.goldstreamgazette.com/news/work-continues-on-en-rail-trail/ https://www.cheknews.ca/new-section-along-en-rail-trail-to-begin-construction-in-fall-480488/ https://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/6-million-loan-urged-to-speed-up-e-n-rail-trail-1.2369368
Hopefully this is will show the importance of this project and to the region. Thank you for your time considering this article. ReliableShick ( talk) 21:37, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
