The Hamilton Cycling Club proposed a 10km single-track trail system at the Christie Conservation Area. They scouted existing double-track trails and mapped 7.5km. They plan to build 4km of difficult single-track trails by summer 2012. The proposal discusses technical trail features, a trail care crew visit schedule including trail building instruction, and creating a memorandum of understanding to outline project expectations.
