“TIR Update on Share The Road Pilot Project”

“We are moving forward with the pilots and are grateful to the advice and assistance ATVANS has provided ,and in particular, the tireless efforts of Cory Robar and others.  We are in the drafting stage with respect to the necessary regulations (under both the Motor Vehicles Act and the OHV Act) to bring the pilots into effect, the lawyers are on it and we are moving it through the process.  As you know, the proof of concept is approved and the drafting work is proceeding  it is down to the regulations approval process.  I think it is safe to say that these pilots are moving forward, in no small measure, due to the positive engagement and leadership of ATVANS.  We are looking forward to working with ATVANS on an evaluation framework for the pilots and our continued close working relationship as the pilots roll out.  I am confident, we are going to get this done.”

Update to notification sent out to membership on July 12, 2017

All of the crews are currently working along the transmission line corridor between Highway 104 (near the Cobequid Pass Toll Plaza) and the Springhill Substation, including the Polly Brook area, Collingwood, Williamsdale, Silica Rd area and Westchester Rd area. The crews are completing the various stages of construction activity such as pole installation, framing and conductor stringing. We have requested our contractor place warning signs along the transmission line corridor on either side of their work site to warn the public of the work activity ahead. We ask that the information be passed along to your members so they are aware of the work taking place and use caution while on the trails.

As mentioned before, the safety of the public and our work crews is our top priority and if you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks,
