Re: Unsanctioned trails at Delta Nature Reserve to be closed to public
With the closure of the unsanctioned trails Cougar Creek and the BNSF, there remains a legal crossing between the Delta - South Surrey Regional Greenway Access Trail and the North Delta Greenway Trail.
Regrettably, the trail at 72nd Avenue has fallen into decades of disrepair and extremely difficult to follow.
I stopped using this trail several years ago after getting a tire puncture due to overgrown brambles.
On a recent attempt to follow this trail, my wife and I found it impassible due to fallen trees and uneven surface.
I have been trying to get this trail repaired but so far have been getting the runaround over who is responsible.
The City of Delta say it belongs to Metro Vancouver, who in turn say it belongs to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.
Their only reporting method is for established roads and so far, have not responded to my requests.
Since these multiple agencies can work together to coordinate the closure of trails, why can't they coordinate the repair of the only remaining legal crossing.
