Clearview has scratched plans to build a trail from Creemore to Collingwood because building arrangements became too complex.
“There were multiple private owners,” explained Councillor Robert Walker at the March 3 Council meeting. “That’s too many negotiations to make it happen. It’s disappointing because it was a nice conceptual plan to link the communities.”
Council approved four new trail maps for Creemore, New Lowell, Nottawa and Stayner at the meeting.
The new plans include a redefined link from Creemore to New Lowell. There will also be a new potential link from Creemore to the Bruce Trail south of Glen Huron.
The updates resulted from requests for new trails since Council approved the first set of maps in 2009.
Since then, the Clearview Trail Subcommittee has investigated the potential of building new trails that link to other areas of interest.
The changes were made by the Trail Subcommittee, a subgroup of the Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee that was created to focus on the development and promotion of trails.
To date, the Township has built approximately 24 km of trails.
