Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail update
4, Request to Council to research
provincial funding
Kathleen Smith

Paul Vandermolen, who is
involved with the Goderich
to Guelph Rail Trail (G2G) as
a board member and repre-
sents the affairs of Huron
County, presented an update
to Huron County Council
last week.
Vandermolen is a member
of the Cycling and Advisory
Committee and has repre-
sented Huron County at the
Ontario Cycling Committee
at the Cycling Summit in
Toronto the last two years.
According to Vandermo-
len, this year at the summit,
there was a great amount of
praise for the Huron County
Cycling Committee's strategy
as well as for how many peo-
ple from Huron County
attended the summit in sup-
port of.
"The Trans -Canada Trail
is nearing completion by
September and part of our
trail is part of their trail," said
Vandermolen.
In Vandermolen's update
on the G2G trail, as it per-
tains to Huron Countv he
stated that, "Last fall, we
received S150, 000 funding
from the "Trillium Founda-
tion. We put in two bridges:
one in Perth County and one
in Huron County. The bridge
is now built and functioning.
We have put in 72 controlled
structures, for entrances, like
gates."
Vandermolen updated
Council on current develop-
ments of the G2G Trail, but
also asked the Huron County
Council to research the
options for provincial fund-
ing, designated for cycling
projects.
"We get random dona-
tions, and those donations
are covering our operating
costs such as lawyers and
accounting fees," said Van-
dermolen. "At this point, 1
would just like County
Council to research' to look
for opportunities, to see how
funding might work, as far as
the trail is concerned. We are
just looking at the program
and how it might help."
According to Vandermo-
len, there is an Ontario
Municipal Commuter Pro-
gram that offers 80 percent
funding for commuter,
cycling, and infrastructure
style projects. It is a $42.4
million multi-year funding
program: One for communi-
ties over 15, 000 people and
one for communities under
15, 000 people.
"I ask us if we can enter-
tain a conversation with the
County and look at the
opportunities that might
present to us, going forward,
with that funding structure;"
said Vandermolen.
According to Vandermo-
len, there are four large
items on the trail in Huron
County that need to be
addressed and possibly
funded: making the North
Harbour Road in Goderich
safer and more direct; get-
ting over Maitland River in
Auburn; getting under
County Road 25; Menese-
tung and keeping the integ-
rity of the river.
After Vandermolen's pres-
entation, it was agreed upon
by Huron County Council
that staff will look into the
funding for projects such as
cycling trails, and take a look
at the options for funding the
G2G trail.
