SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – South Glengarry Council heard a proposal from Township administration at their meeting on Monday, March 15 for a master plan for the development of the Peanut Line.
The Township of South Glengarry purchased the former railway line from Canadian Pacific Railway in 2009. Administration proposed issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) asking consultants to bid on the project of developing a master plan for the Peanut Line.
“I’ve heard from constituents, staff, council about what a jewel the Peanut Line is and the opportunities we have, what we are missing is a plan for it,” said Township Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Tim Mills. “The pandemic has brought to light a number of things where we see the outdoors differently, and the Peanut Line is certainly something we can capitalize on as a municipality . . .”
