ATV riders get permission to use some county roads By Keith Roulson Citizen publisher Huron County councillors have approved a motion to allow all- terrain vehicles (ATVs) to use four sections of county roads to consolidate off-road trails in the county. With the approval, at the Sept. 7 meeting of council, the county will work with the Maitland ATV Club to develop a bylaw that will allow the use of four short stretches of country roads to link up trails on private lands. The sections are on County Rd. 31 from Maitland Line to County Rd. 15; County Rd. 25 from Nile Rd. west of Auburn to Sandhill Rd. east of the village; County Rd. 86 from St. Augustine Line to County Rd. 4 and County Rd. 13 from Fish and Game Line to Clinton. The motion came after Richard Wilts of the ATV club appeared at the August meeting of the planning, agriculture and public works committee. At the meeting it was noted that Bruce and Grey Counties recently got a $75,000 Trillium grant to improve and create new ATV trails as a way of attracting a new type of tourism. Concerns were expressed by some councillors about ATVs being on roadways but Ben Van Diepenbeek, councillor for Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh noted there are strict rules for ATVs on roads including licencing. insurance and speed limits. "These (ATVs) are no different than motorcycles," said Bill Downson, Bluewater councillor who said the problem would be relieved if the province would simply allow ATVs to use roadways like motorcycles. But North Huron councillor Doug Layton wondered if the Ontario Provincial Police had changed their opposition to ATVs being on roadways. "North Huron has opposed this. If there was an association like the snowmobile clubs we might support it." But that's exactly what the clubs are trying to do, explained several councillors who said ATVs are in the position snowmobiles were 20 years ago. "The ATV clubs are trying to get trails going all the way to Tobermory," explained South Huron councillor Dave Urlin. Each club is working with landowners and municipalities within its own area, he said. "I'd really like to see North Huron get on board to get things started," urged Central Huron councillor Bert Dykstra. Despite the approval of the motion, there won't be a bylaw passed anytime soon. Chief administrative officer Larry Adams described the situation as a "blank canvas" with no model to follow so said it would take time to develop the legislation needed. In the meantime the clubs would continue to try to develop the trail system.
