The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure also requires a commercial access permit.

“The indication is the owner already has the application. MOTI is looking at it. there were some questions to be answered. I think one of the questions was they run an event. MOTI was interested in numbers of people. Therefore traffic etc.”

Dozens of people showed up at the RDNO meeting to show their support for Martens.
