Trail Assoc, tries to save CP bridge
The Maitland Trail Association
asked County Council Thursday to
help delay the destruction of brid
ges along the CP Rail line from
Guelph to Goderich at least until
the provincial government looking
into the alternate uses of the line
makes its report.
Robert Pattison and Bob Lafon-
taine addressed council to ask for
help in saving the bridges, some of
which would cost millions to re
place, from immediate destruction.

attempting to gain support for the
conversion of the CP right of way to
a recreational trail.
Mr. Pattison said that the pre
sent CP timetable for demolition of
the bridges, particularly the mas
sive bridges across the Maitland
River west of Auburn and at the
Goderich harbour, means they will
be demolished before the Inter-
Ministerial Committee of the pro
vincial government has reported on
possible other uses for the land.
“We are requesting the County of
Huron to assist us by interceding
with the CPR in an attempt to delay
the demolition of the bridges until
the final disposition of the lands
can be determined’’, Mr. Pattison
said.
He pointed out that without the
bridges, the trail would be broken
in many places.
Hullett township Reeve Tom
Cunningham said he understood it
was already too late to save some
bridges, noting the bridge across
the Blyth Creek near his farm was
now gone. Mr. Pattison said the
smaller bridges could be replaced
at a reasonable cost but the two big
bridges would be expensive to
replace. In addition, he said, he
understood the demolition contract
called only for the steel to be
removed leaving the huge cement
pillars still standing to mar the
scenic entry to Goderich.
The group didn’t get immediate
action on its request. The matter
was referred to the Planning and
Development Committee.
