11.2 Notice of Motion – Councillor Underwood – Re: Expanding Public
Information Session
Councillor Underwood noted that it was important to involve the public when
determining priorities in the Lambton Shores Recreation and Leisure Service Master
Plan and Community Design Plan, and asked that the public information session be
expanded to include discussion on more than just the proposed BMX bike track.
Councillor Illman reminded Council of the need to be flexible with future plans, that
public opinion was of the utmost importance.

In keeping within the spirit and recommendations of the Lambton
Shores Community Design plan and the Municipality of Lambton
Shores Recreation and Leisure Services Master Plan, Council give
the authority to expand the public information session slated for the
proposed BMX track to include a three phase long term goal to
beautify and enhance the former Town of Forest as follows.
Phase one; build a cycle track for youth and families to use for
recreation and to include the identification of the old train tracks as
a trail for full access to cycles and pedestrians. Part of this process
may be to upgrade the existing fence on the bridge to a railing
system to improve aesthetics and to include the mowing of a path
along the top of the lagoons for easy access.
Phase two; plan for either a combination ice rink/splash pad or
simply a splash pad to be located at Rotary park as recommended
by the Community Design Plan. This will join and extend the family
use area from the cycle park and adjoining trails through the Library
gardens to the park. Service clubs will be approached for
assistance for this portion of the project.
Phase three; identify and build connecting trials as per the
community design plan, connecting the Town from the old arena to
the Shores and along the old train tracks through the rear of King St
and Broadway. Once again service clubs may be invited to
contribute for either fitness stations to be built along this path or
