Mr. Allen provided an overview of the report noting that many local residents did not want to see ATV’s on the trail so the compromise that is being proposed in the future would be the noted option of Highway 38. This addresses safety concerns expressed by the ATV clubs. Most comments/concerns expressed were around Prince Charles Public School and area homes. The proposed compromise is acceptable by Trans Canada Trail who that provided support via an email earlier today. It was also noted that this is acceptable and supported by the Township of South Frontenac. Future reports and budgeting will need to address the financial implications need to increase security and additional costs for the gates. Mr. Allen will be working on this and this will be dependent on how accessible we make the gates as this is a sloped area. 7.
