Tweet ThisEMC News - Finding a common ground for a trail that is truly multiuse is going to be a major element for the City of Ottawa as plans move forward for the proposed recreational pathway that links the Ottawa Airport to the Village of Osgoode.
Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson hosted public consultations in Osgoode on Feb. 25 and in Greely on March 4 to receive feedback from residents and other concerned parties about what they want the pathway to be.
At the meetings, numerous snowmobile and ATV enthusiasts stated that they would be willing to cooperate with anybody else to make sure the pathway is accessible to everybody, regardless of the type of recreation they are engaged in.
But some residents were skeptical as to whether allowing motorized vehicles was a good idea.
“Snowmobile use is the foot in the door to everybody else,” said Greely resident Gil Toll, explaining that she believes the path should be for those who want to engage in physical exercise that does not pollute.
