is admitted at council
regarding the G2G Rail Trail
Shaun Gregory
Huron Expostior
Councillors and organiza-
tions representing the
Guelph to Goderich Rail
Trail admitted better inter-
action is essential at a coun-
cil meeting July 7.
The 127 km path meant for
walkers, bikers and snowmo-
bilers is in the midst of being
created. The 1800s trail,
which has been out of service
for decades, is expected to
bring people from far and
wide to Huron County. But
before all that, G2GRT repre-
sentative Paul VanderMolen,
said everyone needs to be on
the same page so the process
can run smoothly.
"This is a great opportu-
nity for us to reach out as an
agricultural community and
talk to these (trail) users
about the coordinates grow-
ing around them," said
VanderMolen.
"The edible beans and all
the different crops we grow
in this vibrant agricultural
area as well as the livestock"
Because the public trail
intertwines through numer-
ous counties with a span of
79 miles, several farmers
have crops growing along
property lines. With the
absence of public activity,
these farmers are worried
about damages from people
using this trail. VanderMolen
added that there is a working
group put together by the
county. It includes local
landowners, the Huron Fed-
eration of Agriculture,
G2GRT and the counties of
both Huron and Perth.
The problems with bio-
hazards of poultry and other
livestock have been dis-
cussed at previous meetings
and some of the councillors
recognize this. The point the
council and the GRG2T were
trying to get across at the
meeting is an improvement
of relationships between
everybody is necessary to
keep the entire community
satisfied in the development
of the trail.
"I think these concerns
that the farmers have can
definitely be worked -out
with the trail people and the
people using the trails," said
Seaforth Ward councillor,
Bob Fisher.
"Let's sit down and talk,
we're all mature adults,
things can be ironed out"
One of the main confu-
sions people of the area are
having is that a press release
was given out by G2GRT and
it declared that the trail is
"open."
VanderMolen said that
statement was intended to
mean the trail was "open for
development."
