To increase safe ATV access to all Verona and District club members to have access to the KP trail from Verona to Harrowsmith!

Patrick Desrochers (Elginburg, 2023-02-25)

We use the trail to access Muddy Waters and other businesses in Verona and don’t feel safe on the highway.

Aileen Gale (Tichborne, 2023-02-25)

I use the atv trails and currently drive my family down hwy 38 from jamieson rd. To Verona where the trail starts. This is less than an ideal situation for my families safety.

Matthew Belliveau (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

#11

I don't want to ride on Road 38 to get to Harrowsmith!

Marc MOEYS (Verona, 2023-02-25)

The trail needs to allow ATVs!

Matthew Robinson (Sharbot lake, 2023-02-25)

#14

It's the right thing to do

Blair Ramsay (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

#15

I am signing as I would use the trail all the time. Also, would be much safer for myself and others, so we don't have to drive on 38 from Harrowsmith to Verona to access the trail. This seems like a no brainer to me. It would also help with the upkeep of the trail over the summer months.

Adam Campbell (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

#16

I live in Parham and had previously lived in Kingston it would be of great benefit to ride the KP Trail to Kingston and certainly to Harrowsmith.

Charles Boyles (Parham, 2023-02-25)

#19

We own a sxs with a valid trail pass and this would be much safer then having to run along hwy 38!

Kristopher Stencell (Sydenham, 2023-02-25)

#20

Makes sense. More access to local businesses without having to ride the highway. Safer and more enjoyable.

Tyler Robinson (Perth Road, 2023-02-25)

#22

To bring new business to the town and at convenience of being able to shop for needed items for the riders.

Michael Ryan (Lansdowne, 2023-02-25)

#23

I use and do maintenance on the k and p trail. I cut the trail side from orser rd to clarendon station I also snowmobile and atv ride on this trail. The extension to harrowsmith would be a major improvement

Donald Scott (Arden, 2023-02-25)

#24

I'm a trail user and support expanding our trail system.

Randy Briley (Maberly, 2023-02-25)

#25

My family uses these trails and we have to travel from Jamieson rd to Verona on 38
hwy with a 6 and 4 year old which is not ideal or safe.

Robin Belliveau (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

#26

I believe it should be ok

Frank Levangie (Kingston, 2023-02-25)

I would like to ride my ATV from anywhere along the trail.

Nicholas Hodgson (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

It would provide access to support more tourist activity in a recreational method.

#30

My family and I use this trail very often

David Matson (Carleton Place, 2023-02-25)

#31

The whole trail should be open to ATVs from 401.

Ty Seeley (Sharbot Lake, 2023-02-25)

#32

I ride. I think it would be great to be able to get to Harrowsmith, get gas, pick up a pizza maybe. Certainly might be good for all those local businesses.

Christopher Sharpe (ACTON, 2023-02-25)

#33

I support opening up atv use of KP trail for recreational use and also for tourism

Kevin Weaver (Verona, 2023-02-25)

#34

Harrowsmith is closer for me to use the trail.

Duane Ramsay (Inverary, 2023-02-25)

#35

I agree that ATVs should be allowed to use more of the trail

Jim McIntosh (Maberly, 2023-02-25)

#38

I feel safer on the trail then on the hwy when riding with children

Ashley Leeman (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

I believe it is important to the sport and economy

I want to use the trail with my atv.

Garrett Dimarco (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-25)

#45

I ride the kp trail all year round on snowmobile and sxs...would support local businesses and community with a multi use trail all year

Rhonda Ballance (Napanee, 2023-02-25)

#46

This is a great idea. I live in Yarker and really wish Atv’s were allowed on the Cataraqui Trail. I understand not being allowed to go through farmers fields but we can’t we use the parts that are the old rail beds? It doesn’t make sense.

Nathan Howes (Yarker, 2023-02-25)

#47

I enjoy responsible atv riding and enjoying nature

Larry Tyrrell Tyrrell (Yarker, 2023-02-25)

#50

I ride the K and p trail and having access to Harrowsmith would be a preferred starting point as it is closer to home.

Brad Synnott (Brockville, 2023-02-26)

#51

I would like to see the trail extended to (and past) Harrowsmith

Brian Hilton (Orleans, 2023-02-26)

#52

I am a resident and taxpayer in South Frontenac. I believe the K&P trail in South Frontenac should be open to ATV / SxS to Harrowsmith.

Wayne Fink (Verona, 2023-02-26)

#53

I would like to be able to travel to and from Harrowsmith on the trail.

Good idea I hate riding 38

Shaun Barr (Sydenham, 2023-02-26)

I love to atv and would enjoy being able to get on the trail closer to home.

Colt Asselstine (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-26)

#60

I live in Sydenham and regularly trailer to Verona to get onto the trail. I think that having the trail extend down to Harrowsmith would make the ATV trail more accessible to those who live in Harrowsmith and the surrounding area, increase tourism for communities north of Harrowsmith along the trail, and encourage proper ATV usage on this length of trail.

Heather Topping (Sydenham, 2023-02-26)

#61

I am signing because I am from Sydenham and would like to access the trail from Harrowsmith.

Paul Topping (Sydenham, 2023-02-26)

#62

So I can travel to my families houses safely without driving on 38 highway

Ashley Pero (Verona, 2023-02-26)

#63

Would be a nice addition to the already existing trails available plus access to many new business establishments

Kerry Joyce (Glenburnie, 2023-02-26)

#64

We need access from Harrowsmith

Christine Monk (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-26)

#65

I love the outdoors and think it’s great for connecting communities in different ways.

Rod Cumpson (Godfrey, 2023-02-26)

#66

This would eliminate having to trailer our quads to Bellrock Rd, we could now leave from our house and go enjoy a day of riding. Thanks.

Chris Morrow

Chris Morrow (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-26)

I would travel this section of the trail and bring tourism dollars regularly to this area, as well as extra business to the local economy.

Fred Cox (McDonalds Corners, 2023-02-26)

#70

This needs to pass. Because this is a recreational trail that needed to be passed for ATVs when it first opened

Todd Duffy (Verona, 2023-02-26)

#74

I’m signing because I would enjoy using the trail. I’m an active OFATV member.

Gord Warner (Yarker, 2023-02-26)

I wish we had atv all the way to Railton!!!

I love to ride and it would be good for the small business’s in the area

Curtis Chiddle (Odessa, 2023-02-26)

#86

Would love to see the trail extended

Edward Clark (Verona, 2023-02-26)

#88

This would allow our family to access the trails without trailering our 4 wheelers to Verona.

Pat Vandermeer (Kingston, 2023-02-26)

#89

I signing because this section of trail is a great way to travel south of Verona with an atv or in my case a sidexside . I travel with groups of people who love nature and always clean up behind people who walk and bike these trails . Our clubs also donate money and time to help maintain the trails the we ride on .

Brian Parker (Kingston, 2023-02-26)

#90

I want access to the gas stations in hartington and harrowsmith and would be nice shop at Gilmores and sfrc and also to see some more the back country from Verona to harrowsmith as we helped for it I taxes

Howard Hutcheson (Verona, 2023-02-26)

#93

I would like access to the trail from Harrowsmith through to Verona

Stuart Berry (Kingston, 2023-02-26)

#96

The access would be wonderful!

Jordan Cox (McDonald’s corners, 2023-02-26)

#97

I live in Harrowsmith and it would be much safer to use the trail rather than run on 38 hwy for myself and my family and friends.

Steve Lawson (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-26)

#98

I believe it is much safer for everyone if off road vehicles are on the trail rather than the side of 38. I do ride my SXS on 38 to get access to the k&p at Bellrock Rd but I'm not a fan. There is a perfectly good trail that saves drivers from having to deal with dust clouds and saves riders for drivers of vehicles, it has never made sense to ride a busy road with the machines with the trail right there.

Dan Shangraw (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-26)

#101

I believe all of the KP Trail should be shared with ATV/side-by-side’s. people are spending more and more money on these machines and they should have lots of places to go.

Mike Johnson (Newburgh, 2023-02-26)

#102

It would be a lot less road riding for us and easier to get gas before our trip starts please allow this to happen

Connor Maclean (Yarker, 2023-02-27)

#103

Because they are a publicly owned trail and as responsible atv riders we should be allowed access not to mention the commerce we bring to the area.

Doug Morgan (Verona, 2023-02-27)

#104

Connecting communities through recreational riding will benefit small business in Harrowsmith as well as encourage outdoor activities that individuals and families can participate in.

Jim Knapp (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-27)

#105

Our land backs up to the trail. Would be nice to be able to start from home!

Dale Morey (harrowsmith, 2023-02-27)

#106

This would be a much safer option for all atv/utv riders to access the trails north!
We often ride our utv with a group of friends from Yarker and we have to run the roads to get to the Verona trails which sucks!

Cory Maclean (Yarker, 2023-02-27)

#108

I road run from Sydenham to access the trail at Verona. Being able to get on the trail at Harrowsmith would be great. I also think it will help bring a boost to the local economy and help enhance the community.

Kevin Stewart (Sydenham, 2023-02-27)

#110

I'd like to see the trail expand farther towards harrowsmith/sydenham

Colin Wolsey (Verona, 2023-02-27)

I feel we need the access

Robert Valentine (Verona, 2023-02-27)

#119

Support for safe access for all. It would benefit everyone in these areas from business’ and safety of atv riders as well as drivers on 38

Jana Leybourne (Deseronto, 2023-02-27)

I enjoy the ride and would like to patronize the businesses

Ellen Baer (Sharbot Lake, 2023-02-27)

#123

I agree to this and we need more atv trails opened up and would be so much safer to stay off all major road

Joe Bradshaw (Napanee, 2023-02-28)

#124

I use the trail often and it would be nice to use the whole trail

David Wease (Napanee, 2023-02-28)

#125

I enjoy the ATV sport, and would like trail access.

Chris Morrow (Kanata, 2023-02-28)

#126

It would make a safer ride for all to enjoy.

Brian Lasher (Odessa, 2023-02-28)

#127

I'm signing for two reasons, first of all I walk that trail and have seen a lot of garbage and dog poop. I've seen a lot of garbage I suspect on the trail from the garbage dump. Plus it seems only fair the ATV'ers from Harrowsmiths should have to ride on 38 highway to get to the trail in Verona.

Bill Cuthill (Vrtona, 2023-02-28)

#128

I'm signing this petition because I believe ATV drivers are responsible individuals and should have access to this portion of the KP trail.

Diana PIETZARKA (KINGSTON, 2023-02-28)

#129

I would love to see this happen as I could then ride my atv’s to my hunting ground and to my fathers place , I used to go to Harrowsmith through long swamp rd but it is now closed, please open this up to the atv club

Adam Goodberry (Verona, 2023-02-28)

#130

I live in Verona and love arcing but can't access the trails to the south unless you take Rd 38. Which is both dangerously and not very convenient. I've lived in the village for 46 years and really would appreciate it being opened so as I can take the family south on the K&P.

Steve Bauder (Verona, 2023-02-28)

#132

The trail should start at the hub in Harrowsmith and continue north to Verona. This would open up access for all South Frontenac residents to use the trail with their ATVs, snowmobiles, horse/bike riders and walkers.

Marilyn Goodberry (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-28)

#136

I feel that access to the multi use trail from Verona to Harrowsmith will allow riders the ability to get to the east/west artery without having to travel on Hwy 38. Forcing riders to travel along Hwy 38 poses an unnecessary risk as this is a lengthy commute on the side of a road. it also allows riders to support more business in the area.

Steve Newstead (sharbot lake, 2023-02-28)

#137

I live in Hartington and the KP trail is 2.5 kms from our house. Since it is not open in Hartington, we have to travel the shoulder of Hwy 38 to get to Verona where it is open. It would be much safer for us to use the KP trail instead of the shoulder of a very busy hwy.

Sharon Mitchell (Hartington, 2023-02-28)

#138

I would take my ATV the trail

Casey Gibson (Hartington, 2023-02-28)

Thomas Ayer (Verona, 2023-02-28)

#143

We need to cater to ATV and SXS user the sport is growing at a huge rate
The Snowmobiling season is shorter almost every year
Open up some trails i live 1 min from the LandA ridge runners club house and someday i would love to see that trail open as well !!!

Bill Vanderfeltz (Yarker, 2023-02-28)

#145

I like the idea of getting on the trail at Verona

Tim Garrah (Kingston, 2023-02-28)

#147

It's a Great Link to local businesses!
Cheaper for residents, saving on gas!
What's not to like about it?

HAWLEY Ronda (Harrowsmith, 2023-02-28)

Opening that part of trail would be great access to Verona stores

#155

Great for business

Steve Martin (Sydenham, 2023-03-01)

#156

I would like to use the whole trail but for some reason you have gates closed forcing me to use the shoulder of road 38 which is a lot more dangerous for everyone. I also have to use the shoulder from Hartington to Bellrock Road to access the trail when we go for a ride. Please open gates from Bellrock Road to Harrowsmith thanks.

Shawn Mitchell (Hartington, 2023-03-01)

#157

I use these trails with my atv

Corey Fowler (Joyceville, 2023-03-01)

#159

This would help businesses and also be a safer commute for ATVs currently having to ride down 38 hwy to access this trail.

Heidi Edwards (Harrowsmith, 2023-03-01)

#168

Trail use should be for everyone and is proven safe even with motor vehicles. Hartington and Harrowsmith are country towns where ATVs can access roads, trail access for ATVs means less rode use which is safer for the riders.

Andrew Erskine (Kingston, 2023-03-01)

#169

I think it would be a great way for people to be able to make use of the beautiful trail in our area!

Kristen Murphy (Harrowsmith, 2023-03-01)

I am an avid ATV enthusiast and it would bring trail access closer to my town of Napanee

Frank Collins (Napanee, 2023-03-02)

#176

I’m an avid four wheeler who respects the trails and a snowmobiler as well, it would be nice to use the trails year round!

Ashley Garrison (Harrowsmith, 2023-03-02)

#177

I'm singing because this is a great idea and I hope will get more young children out in the trails rather then on game consoles.

Jamie Brierley (Kingston, 2023-03-02)

#178

I'm signing this petition because opening trails would make it much safer for atv riders to take trail vs. Travelling on highway. Opening more trails would promote additional tourism as well.

Jeanne Collins (Napanee, 2023-03-02)

#182

I want to ride to my sisters who lives out that way and I enjoy atv”ing

Jill Scott (Sharbot Lake, 2023-03-02)

I believe should.be open to 4 wheelers

Rita Oomen (Kingston, 2023-03-02)

#185

I had sent an email to some organization (can't remember who) last year regarding having the KP trail open up for ATV users right through to Kingston. But even to Harrowsmith would be so much better for me. I frequently use the Bellrock Rd Parking Lot to unload my SXS and ride the Kick and Push trail to Sharbot Lake, Kaladar, Perth and beyond. I also noted that I and most (if not all) other ATV users always slow down and give extra space and respect to any walkers, hikers, horseback riders, cyclists, and most often locals walking their dogs. Most of these ppl wave their thanks to me and others. So if we prove to do this north of Verona I know we can give the same respect and space to those other users south of Verona.

Mel Handley (Odessa, 2023-03-03)

There's enough roads for bicycles, ATVer's pay taxes as will as those with sniw machines. This corridor was blazed for transportation reasons, so keep it that way.

I love enjoying the outdoors with my husband , grandson, son & his family.
With this extension we can: take the long way to our cottage, go more often, less Truck drivin together where we love & enjoy.
It's so nice when the trail is there for all, my hubby & son, get great groups of people to go on wonderful adventures, it warms my heart to see our counties this way, in slow zone to see respect of the atv groups going slow, waving at all we see.
