The "Chelsea Bicycle Lanes and Railway Trail Feasibility Study: Final Report" was prepared in 2001 under contract with the Municipality of Chelsea by Kevin Jones, Land Use and Recreation Planning Solutions, Chelsea, Quebec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / 819-827-3747. Both the roadway and railway options were divided into sections and each section was assessed individually. This approach allowed for the development of individual sections to be prioritised based on the cost estimates and expected level of use. The railway corridor trail was found to be less expensive to develop, and generally a safer recreational pathway option, than paving the shoulders of Route 105. The 7.1 km railway section between Tenaga and Ramsay Road was considered a top priority that would link the many small residential communities located between Route 105 and the Gatineau River. The author also emphasizes in the report that both the railway trail and roadside bicycle lanes should not necessarily be considered as two distinct options, but rather as a complementary set that together would serve both recreational and commuting needs.
