    • Look for the HVHTA sign just past the one lane bridge and then look for roadside parking.
    • If you drive to the railway tracks, you've gone too far.

    Instead of driving onto Coleraine Drive @ Highway 50, turn right (NORTH) and follow the highway into Bolton where there are options such as a Tim Hortons, Starbucks or McDonalds.
    Continuing north after your stop, just connect back to the route, by taking the left at Healey Road (WEST) and you'll get to Ccoleraine Drive.
