The Green Trails Alliance Presents a Deputation to Local Council
April 12, 2010 The Lindsay Post
Bill Steffler of the Kawartha Green Trails Alliance and Mike Gorman of the Kawartha Cycling Club spoke on Apr. 12 about the need to establish a greenway along the Scugog River, the Legacy Trail and the Victoria Rail Trail.
They were joined by Mark Cossarin and Barb MacPherson and a contingent of students making a community appeal for a greenway.
The green team was after a non motorized, two-kilometre trail connecting McDonnell Park to Ken Reid Conservation Authority, and specifically from Thunderbridge Road to Ken Reid. In their presentation, Steffler and Gorman said it would create a 7.5km trail, for more than 25,000 residents. "It will provide for a safe and quality human powered trail experience for such activities as hiking, walking, cycling, dog walking, jogging, wheelchairs and other self propelled activities."
A motion for a non-motorized trail was defeated by a 12-5 count.
Green Trails Alliance completes Legacy Trail Kiosk.
Plans for 2010 are to do the landscaping around the kiosk.
