Some residents in Cassandra LeBlanc's ward felt a plan to connect the Cross-Town Trail bike and walking path was too dangerous

The City of Fredericton spent $18,776 on outside legal advice after a code of conduct complaint was lodged by more than a dozen people against their city councillor.

“It’s a long, complex complaint,” said Hart, who wouldn’t say who the complainants were or much about the complaint itself. “Our legal support team said it was unfounded.” While many of the residents want the trail extended, they don’t like the city’s plan, which they consider too dangerous. They argue the new portions of the trail would cross too many busy driveways and roadways, a threat to the health and safety of pedestrians and cyclists, particularly unwary children. And they point out it wouldn’t be to the same standard of the more than 70 kilometres of existing trails in the city.
