The NCC’s plan is to have a paved path running through its Arboretum property. Much of this path would be in the same location as two existing sections of crushed gravel paths, although the paved path would be about 50% wider than the existing paths and would be straighter. The NCC also wants to construct a new section of path to connect the two existing sections. The new section would include a bridge, as a creek cuts across the NCC’s Arboretum property. The existing paths meander between NCC property and the Arboretum proper, and make use of a bridge on Farm property to cross the creek.
The NCC intends that this section of paved path would connect with other paved recreational pathways. To this end, the NCC plans on altering the area around the Dow’s Lake Pavilion and HMCS Cataraqui, to connect its Arboretum path to the paved pathway running along Queen Elizabeth Driveway. At the south end of the Arboretum, the recreational pathway would continue up the hill to Hartwell Locks and then to the existing lights at Prince of Wales Drive, where it would cross into the Experimental Farm and continue west using existing pathways (with some modifications). The NCC is not currently concerned with improving the Hartwell Locks crossing. The Central Experimental Farm Advisory Council will be meeting on Thursday. It might be useful for the Council to know your opinion at or before the meeting. One way would be to contact the Secretary of the Council before then: Dan Schmid Manager, Property and Facilities Agriculture and AgriFood Canada 759-1977 [EMAIL PROTECTED] In addition, it would be great if anyone were available to attend the meeting (and perhaps make a statement themselves - there is an opportunity for short statements from the public at the beginning of the meeting). The meeting is at 1:30 pm, Thursday November 14, in the K.W. Neatby Building.
