DEVELOPMENT TO DATE
In addition to the planning that
has taken place at Naftel's Creek,
there have been, several small
projects undertaken at the site.
In October 1982, a parking lot
was developed on the property,
directly adjacent to Highway 21.
This parking lot, an information
kiosk and trail signage were
completed with the financial
assistance of a federal -provincial
supplemented Parks Program.
The Authority's major concern
in 1982, was to put in a parking lot
which would help alleviate road -

side parking problems. In future,
if use of the Conservation Area
warrants an increase in parking
facilities, then this can be easily
accommodated.
Work scheduled on the
property during 1983 includes the
trail marking, as previously
mentioned, and some limited
trail maintenance on several
specific segments of the trails.
PUBLIC INPUT

stage is the most important time
to have your opinions heard;
when your viewpoints can have
the most impact, before the
master plan for the area is com-
pleted. What we would like to
know from you is: WHAT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE
FOR THE PROPERTY IN THE
LONG TERM? and WHAT DO
YOU THINK OF WHAT HAS
BEEN DONE SO FAR?
Public open houses will be
scheduled later in the spring of
1983 to discuss these questions. If
