Town Council recently approved an agreement with Bell Aliant to
install fibre infrastructure along sections of the Rail Trail south of
Southampton.
The project will eventually connect to Bruce Power, one of Bell Aliant's
largest customers. The first part of the proposed route will start
immediately at Spark's Corner, go south on Carlisle to Hwy. 21 and to
the Rail Trail.
According to Bell Aliant, there will be little disruption to the Trail's
surface and, in those areas that are considered 'sensitive', the cable
will be installed through directional drilling.
Any potential damage to the Trail will be assumed by Bell Aliant and the
completion of the work is expected to be completed in the spring.

Bell Aliant is to provide a one-time donation of $67,500
to the Town for future trail expansion within the municipality and has
agreed to "leave the trail in an improved condition applying a fresh
layer of stone dust upon work completion and toally restoring the entire
work area along the trail."
Bell Aliant will also provide a $7,5000 one-time donation to the Town to
be used for decorative benches and decorative information mileage
markers along the route. In return, the Town has agreed to recognize
Bell Aliant's contribution by placing their logo and/or name on the
benches and mileage marker signs on the existing trail and new trails
that result from Bell Aliant financial donations.
