As well the development industry is pushing for the road to go further east where the implications and the cost will be higher. The lands that surround the road are part of the Ontario Muncipal Board appeal that the Region of Waterloo is still involved in and has been in the news alot in the past month.<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br> <br>Please take the time to come out and listen to what is being presented. If you feel that you wish to speak out about the road there is usually an opportunity to once all of the delegations have presented for people in the gallery to come forward.<br>I hope to see all of you there and certainly the time to bring your friends and neighbours who have also expressed concerns about this road!
