REPORT CS -09 -90 - 2 - APRIL 2, 1990
2.0 C01 MNT :
2.1 For the information of Committee, the feasibility of
developing a park /picnic area on the northern extension of the
Soper Creek Park immediately south of Highway #2 was reviewed
and subsequently not recommended.
2.2 The major issue with the project was poor accessibility to the
area. Access would have been provided directly onto Highway
#2 opposite the Bowmanville Zoo. Concerns were raised as to
the safety of providing access in this area.
2.3 In light of recent developments, (the Rotarians are actively
involved with the Senior Citizens Steering Committee) staff
concur that co- development of this area of Soper Creek Park,
as a picnic facility is not appropriate at this time.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Bowmanville, it has been decided to
withdraw a proposal regarding the Soper Creek Park.
Several years ago the club had passed a motion to furnish picnic tables
and a general clean -up of the park area at the north end immediately
adjacent to Highway #2.
As of the above date, the directors decided that it no longer wishes
to pursue this venture.
Thank you,
R. L. Moore,
Secretary.
