On today’s show, QUAD NB and the Tantramar ATV club have proposed new routes for off-road vehicles to get access to downtown Sackville and the village of Dorchester, and are seeking support from Tantramar council before they pursue formal by-law changes and applications for permission to the provincial departments of Transportation and Infrastructure and Natural Resources. The pitch includes access to parts of Squire, Princess and Weldon Streets, as well as a 6.4 km stretch of Mount View Road and an extended section of the TransCanada trail. We listen in to the group’s pitch at Tantramar council’s meeting Tuesday night.

Plus in briefs:

  • The Sikniktuk Climate Adaptation Project is coming to the Tantramar Civic Centre this Thursday evening for a public outreach session to explain the project which aims to put 100 hectares of coastal land under conservation trust.
  • The municipality of Tantramar is replacing a retaining wall and resurfacing a multi-use trail that connects Main Street in downtown Sackville with Lansdowne.
