People are shocked when they learn this but think about it, if you were looking at buying a home for your family and someone told you that ATVs from all over the island run constantly through your backyard, would you buy it if you had alternatives? This is why the value drops. The issue here is transparency. The rail trail steering committee presented this trail as an Active Transportation trail up until a presentation to council in February last year and then pulled a Bait & Switch and turned it into an ATV trail that runs right through resident's backyards. This battle is just beginning now and won't go away until this trail is converted back to an Active Transportation trail that was promised, property values are restored and quality of life is given back to the residents. More to come, stay tuned. tapn.be/nomotors
