Cramahe By-Law Officer, Jim Harris says that Motorcycle racing on a 140-acre agricultural property at 248 Cochrane Rd. in Cramahe Township has one neighbour unhappy. The neighbour’s concerns were brought to Cramahe Council on September 15 along with the background on the subject.
The track which hosts a total of 8-10 races for two clubs every summer, has been in operation since at least 1976. The bylaw which was in place at that time did not address the land use for race tracks. Current bylaws do, but the track must be considered “legal non-conforming” because it preceded the new bylaws.
Cramahe Township will work with the track owner and clubs to help reduce the noise. Mr. Harris says the owners have already planted some trees. The track operators will limit the number of motorcycles operating at any time and the track will undergo some changes. Riders will be encouraged not to blast away with their engines.
