Summary

Members debated a contractor-cut connector and the official plan's route, ultimately agreeing to re-check maps and coordinate a safe connection without forcing users into the parking lot. Neighbors and a local landowner support a connector to Catherine's loop.

Members spent a substantial portion of the meeting reconciling what the contractor had cut on the ground with what the project map shows on paper. Some attendees reported seeing a connector that keeps users from entering the parking lot while others said the printed plan showed a different alignment.

"That's not what's in this plan," one committee member said while reviewing the map, and others agreed to re-check plan documents and confirm whether the connector is shown or was an onsite adjustment. Members also reported that neighbor Catherine had asked for a connection to her loop and said she would welcome people using that section; volunteers offered to clear vegetation and to place signage at the intersection to restrict motorized vehicle use.

The group agreed to follow up with the contractor and to verify which plan version controls the final alignment before committing to additional grading or signage.
