Gerry Montpellier was seeking $1.1 million to finish 2 km Whiston River Waterway Trail.

Gerry Montpellier is calling the Whitson River Waterway Trail in Chelmsford a "road to nowhere" after funding to continue the incomplete project was turned down by the city's finance committee.

Last week, Montpellier had requested $1.15 million in funding from the 2020 budget to complete the trail next year.
 

Montpellier had first used money from his Health Community Initiative (HCI) fund for engineering and design work for the two kilometre east-west trail across Chelmsford.

The city then provided $800,000 for clearing and partial construction.

"It would take you from east-to-west, if you would, along the Whitson River," Montpellier said. "In it there would be little parkettes, maybe a barbecue area, and so forth."

Montpellier says the project was able to save money when environmentally-friendly aggregates would be used on the surfacing, instead of hard-surface pavement.

While pitching the project to his colleagues, Montpellier said the trail could attract eco-tourists who would prefer to walk or bike through the community.
