Sledder12 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Anyone know what is going to happen with the New Hamburg trails where it used to cross Waterloo St on the edge of New Hamburg? There is a new subdivision development there now. Also noticed there is a school being built in Baden where the trails used to cross near Waterloo Oxford. Damn urban sprawl!!!

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I understand from the club Pres. that they are working with the township to try and get through the subdivision. He indicated that if that wouldn't work, it would likely mean road running or stopping the trail at Waterloo St. They're doing their best to solve the trail vs. growth problem.

Lep Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I would say if they dont get the go to go thru the new sub,they will use the old trail that involves a little road running,anybody remember the way they done it 10yrs ago???it worked then.

Nith Valley Sledder Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 We have talked to the landowners about getting around the new subdivision and they are working great with us. We still need to approach the township to try and get permission to cross the top of the new water retention ponds. Rumor has it that might be an issue. The other option is a 2.5 km scratch down Christner Rd. The problem is the road is scraped clean all winter and is paved (not nice). There will likely be a problem with sleds sneaking on to lawns and other places looking for snow. The least prefered option is ending the trail at Waterloo St. The club doesn't have a set day for staking trails. Each section is looked after by a different club member. We are having a sign installation training day at our clubhouse at 12 noon this Saturday. If anyone is willing to help please come out and we will try to team you up with somebody who needs a hand. We also have some sections with no member looking after them so you could help there also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledder12 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 At the bare minimum, can the trail stop on the south side of Waterloo St. where it has for the past few years. I speak for several people when I say this is our only access to the trail system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OntSledder The club meeting is Wed night Dec 16 at Bluesky Marine on Arnold St at 7:30pm (use the side door and go upstairs). Why don't you come out and get involved. If that trail is going to get salvaged it will probably require some extra work staking and putting up snowfence to keep people on the trail. It is still a work in progress and nobody is jumping up to volunteer to get it sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diceman Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 wondering if or when the New Burg Inn access trail will be staked??...Like last year I volunteered to do whatever for that section to get it up and open..was extremlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy disappointed last year when it was not open at all due to it not being leveled in time......Diceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nith Valley Sledder Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Diceman, Did you get talking to the trailmaster? He is new this year and still learning the ropes. If you have had no reply try again. The guy that does the Newburg trail spends a lot of time working out of town. The trail has been land levelled (or as best as it could be with the frost) so there is only a small portion to be finished. Most of the active guys in the club have their piece of trail finished and some of us have spent numerous weekends working on other trail upgrade projects. Getting this close to Christmas you are not likely to find most of the club members really eager to go finish a trail that is purely an access trail for a small portion of town that they are not going to ride. It is going to take somebody like you to get involved and push to get it finished. There is a lot of work just getting the main trails finished and a small dedicated group that does most of the work.

I think all trails, access or not are important ...we all pay the same so should have equal opportunities to access the trail if possible....tell mw were and when to stake and I am there.....Cheers Diceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nith Valley Sledder Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I e-mailed you the contact info for the guys to get in touch with. You are correct that all trails are important but there is getting to be fewer people like you that will actually come out and help make it happen. It may not be right but that is the reality of it.

smittyjp Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just joined the forum -there is some great info on here. What was the final outcome on the trail at waterloo street -is it running out past the new pond? - I noticed there is still corn in the one field on christner road just before you cross the road heading to the bridge.

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 As of Tuesday night, they were still working on it. The corn is an added obstacle. The new subdivision is still the major problem. Some talk at the triangle meeting of trying to find another option for the connection to Northeasthope trails.
