The District of Squamish is closing a gravel section of Bailey Street, citing a longstanding agreement with CN Rail.
On March 8, the municipality said it will be installing gates on the gravel section of Bailey Street in the near future, north of the downtown area, closing the road except for emergency purposes. The stretch of Bailey that’s being closed is the dirt road leading to the rail crossing all the way up to the entrance of Spit Road.
Access to the Westbarr Road/Squamish Estuary Trails will remain open to the public. “The road is being closed to fulfill a long-standing agreement with CN Railways dating back to 1979 that has allowed the District to use Bailey Street as an emergency access route,” reads a release from a District spokesperson.
