The town of Paradise is considering banning ATV use on its section of the T’Railway system, and is seeking input from the public.

The Trans Canada Trail Foundation has allocated funding to the town to complete upgrades to a section of the trail. However, to be eligible to receive the funds, the town must designate the trail as non-motorized.

The connecting municipalities of Conception Bay South and Mount Pearl have already designated their sections of the trail as non-motorized although parts of the CBS trail are mixed use.

Mayor Dan Bobbett says the trail is used for a variety of activities including snowshoeing, running, cycling and riding ATVs.

He says they want to hear from everybody who uses the trail in order to gauge the best way to meet the needs of residents.

An online survey has been made available on the town’s website. After the survey closes the first week of March, the town will hold a public consultation about the issue on March 10th.
