On April 24th we at Regional Council were excited to receive a delegation from Kendrick Doll, Natural Heritage Coordinator, Ontario Heritage Trust (OTC), Beth Gilhespy, Executive Director, The Bruce Trail Conservancy (BTC) and Sally Rook, Project Manager, Region of Peel, who provided an overview of a conceptual design to address safety issues on Olde Base Line Road in Caledon where the Cheltenham Badlands are located.
The Badlands are owned by the OTC and are managed by the BTC who worked in partnership with the Region to develop a pedestrian and vehicle traffic strategy. Regional Council approved funding for Phase 2 of the strategy which will build on the work completed to date and complete the detailed design and construction. The improvement project will provide parking for 33 vehicles and two school buses.
