[All] GREN meeting tonight Tuesday the 23rd

[Robert Milligan]

John & All,

Looks like an interesting meeting -- thank you for putting the Agenda  
together John. I would like to suggest the following addition:
Five minutes for me to discuss:

1) key aspects of the LRT system design such as the need to better  
address our accelerating road congestion and how necessary is a very  
costly 2-track corridor along King between W & K downtowns in the  
initial stage;

2) the related need to be more concerned with developer disincentizing  
thru the negative health effects &/or disagreeable aesthetics of toxic  
chemicals in our air in downtown/' near downtown' areas that we wish  
to intensify (so as to better control urban sprawl and help decrease  
the use of roads connecting to the periphery).

The 2) was very much influenced by concerns expressed by other GRENERS  
over the last for months about various env'tl health  effects and by  
my noticing how AirBoss Rubber Compounding (Strange/Glasgow area), is  
polluting the air -- depending on the wind direction -- from downtown  
Kitchener to near downtown Waterloo (what to do?).
