[All] River Rd. extension goes to council Wednesday

[Daphne NICHOLLS]

Hi Friends!

Due to the hydro outage on Tuesday aft., The River Rd. Extension Committee will hear delegations as part of the Regional Council meeting on Wednesday Oct. 5 at 7 pm. It's the second item on the agenda.  NOTE: Then Council will vote on Wednesday about giving more money to IBI Group to continue with  Phase 3 and 4 of the Class EA .
Today Gord found some contradictory information comparing the Region's maps with those of the consultant, LGL. LGL indicated that the Jefferson's territory is larger than is shown on the Region and MNR maps. Puzzling??!!

Gord and I have been contacted by people who live in Hidden Valley, and they will be at the meeting and one of them will be speaking for Gord. A neighbour of ours  will be speaking for me, perhaps, or for herself. We're grateful for their help and think it's high time there were new faces and voices carrying the "natural heritage area" ball! Please go and support them if you can, and and let others know about the meeting. Neil will be talking about Jeffersons.  
Questions: (1)If they find that the environmental studies show that the River Rd. extension (and subsequent development) is likely to polute our drinking water, will theyy cance the planed extension? 
(2) Construction of the road could begin, we were told on Tuesday, in 2016. Can construction begin in Hidden Valley as soon as the Phase 3 is passed?
(3) At what point does the Onterio Clean Water Act come into being, or has it already been passed?
(3) The Clean Water Act is designed to protect recharge areas, and surface and well water used for drinking. 
There was more info about this in the agenda from Planning and Workson Tuesday (see p. 84)
 
Sorry we won't be there in person, but we'll certainly be thinking of them!
 
Sincerely,
