New Cabot Head Trail Project
#4
Thanks for posting.  I was wondering if anything was going on.

Unfortunately there's a steep hill to climb if Cabot Head is ever to reopen:
- Feds spent 1.3 M$ of our tax money to make the place "safe", but won't spend a penny to make it usable or even accessible.
- Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula has washed their hands of it.
- Owner of shore land where the road used to be was reportedly not favorable to allowing repairs.
- Dyer's Bay residents don't want Cabot Head traffic through their village.
- There was a report that the electrical power feed needs work.
- There was a report that water leaks caused an interior ceiling to collapse.
- Now more reports of damage and vandalism.
- FOCH can't operate it to raise money for maintenance, & can't even access it.

The walking/cycling trail idea is a non-starter.  Few people will trek that far.  And how would access for operation & maintenance be provided?

Perhaps the most merciful future would be for the Feds to let a contract to remove it and remediate the site back to greenfield condition.  That would be better than watching it fall down.

too bad
