Chelsea’s Active Transportation Master Plan

The new Active Transportation Master Plan was presented at the September Chelsea Municipal Council meeting. It will be approved at the next council meeting in October. Mayor Caryl Green is inviting Chelsea residents to consult the Plan and submit their comments.

The Plan is a major accomplishment for our municipality and Sentiers Chelsea Trails is proud to have participated in its creation and development – we were actually the instigators of this project.  The Master Plan will guide the municipality and SCT in our future planning and building of community trails, biking paths and multiple-use trails for years to come. This is why we invite SCT members and supporters to read the Master Plan on the municipality’s Website at http://www.chelsea.ca/?q=node/61 and submit your comments and suggestions at the following email address [email protected].

Please note that the Master Plan is available only in French at the moment.
