ATV Bylaw Restrictions Eased

Mississippi Mills is making it easier for ATV’s to access trails by relaxing restrictions. On June 7^th, Committee of the Whole approved a motion that would permit ATV’s to travel on municipal roadways for the purpose of accessing areas of approved use on a one-year trial basis. Current restrictions will be maintained in the downtown core but eased elsewhere. This means residents no longer need to trailer to an area of permitted use - they can drive there from their home on the following roadways:

• All roads lying within the boundary of the Almonte Ward except for:
  • Little Bridge Street (from Bridge Street to Mill Street)
  • Mill Street (from Bridge Street to Main Street)
  • Mill Street (from Bridge Street to the dead end, south of Bridge)
  • Brae Street (from Mill Street to Farm Street)
  • High Street (from Brae Street to Bridge Street)
• All roads lying within the boundary of the Village of Pakenham
• Golden Line Road (from McArton Rd. to March Rd.)
• Head Pond Road South (from Ryan Duncan Side Rd. to the dead end)
• Lunney Road (from Shaw Rd to the dead end)
• Rock Coady Trail (from Panmure Rd. to the dead end)
• Timmins Road (from Kinburn Side Rd. to the dead end)
• Walter Bradley Road (County Road 29 to the dead end)

Approved-use areas include the OVRT, county roads and country roads.

Council will vote on this motion at the June 21^st Council Meeting.
