Exciting News!
The 2 year trial period for a proposed route through Lindsay passed at today’s council meeting by a vote of 5 to 4 in favor. This has been 10 years in the making and we’re finally here thanks to the hard work by the members of the ORV Task force and the councilors who voted in favour:Councilor Pat DunnCouncilor Tracy RichardsonCouncilor Kathleen Seymour FaganCouncilor Ron AshmoreCouncilor Emmett YeoIf you click on the link below it will take you right to where the issue is discussed at council. Something important to note is that it was really the emails that our members and visiting riders sent to council this past weekend that made the difference for some of the councilors and you’ll hear that in the meeting.
It’s very important that you understand that this is not opening up ALL the roads in the town of Lindsay, only a designated route and although this has passed through council it does not take effect until May 1st, 2022.
It’s incredibly important that you understand and comply with this. We here at KATVA need this time to work with city staff on signage, safety awareness and public education so that we can make sure this trial project is a success. In the meantime please stay off the roads in Lindsay. We will provide our members with a map of the route that and other important information well before the opening of the 2022 riding season.
We made this happen, now it’s up to you to make sure it becomes permanent. Stewardship and self-policing will be the keys to our success.
