A popular pathway through the heart of Kanata has been turned into a corridor of vandalism.
The roughly 1.5-kilometre pathway stretching from All Saints High School to Campeau Drive at Terry Fox Drive has become littered with graffiti, repeating a tag that reads, "TRIZZ."
It’s a walkway frequented by families, cyclists, and shoppers.
Area resident Karen Ellis says she walks the pathway every days and is disturbed by the vandalism.
"It's just been getting tagged more and more. It started out as only white paint and then it went to black paint. The red paint is very new," she said.
The tags can be seen along the entire concrete path and on fences, benches, trashcans, and crosswalks. She says the tags recently started appearing within the last two weeks.
"It started off as just black," adds her walking partner Jim Morrison.
