Hikers and skiers on the Tantramar Outdoor Club trails off Walker Road in Sackville might have been surprised to see tree cutting happening on the site this week near the trail head.
CHMA called up TOC co-president Karin Aurell Wednesday afternoon to find out more about what’s going on. The cutting is part of a plan years in the works, says Aurell, to build a parking lot near the trailhead to help reduce on road parking congestion and improve traffic safety at the busy spot.
“We’ve been talking for several years about the fact that the parking area by the Crooked Tree Trail is dangerous,” said Aurell, “with a mix of lots and lots of cars parking, people running around, dogs running around, and big dump trucks coming from the quarries.”
