SAVE Acton/Georgetown, Friday, October 31, 2008 3 The light at the end of the tun- nel is that there may be a train coming, said Bonnette. Bonnette said at first glance he prefers the west of Acton sta- tion site, because it would be more accessible for people from Rockwood and Erin, and Acton residents would be going against commuter traffic to get to the sta- tion thats only 1.6 km from Acton. He added it could accommodate up to 400 parking spots. Ed Shea, a spokesperson for GO Transit, said the EA study identi- fies potential GO stations, but no decision has been made. He said the decision whether or not to extend the GO service and where stations would be located will be made by the Minister of Transportation. GO Transit wants to bring four p a s s e n g e r trains a day to Kitchener along the Georgetown line by 2011. GO hopes to complete the EA study by the end of March, 2009. Design of a preferred route could start later in 2009, and if financing comes through, construction of stations would start in 2010, said Bruce Sevier, GOs senior projects officer. It depends on money, however. Sevier estimated the expansion would cost $40 million to $50 mil- lion, since GO would have to upgrade tracks and buy trains. We dont know where the pot of gold might come from, he said, adding that this question hasnt been asked yet. But when GO extended rail service to Barrie last year, the capital cost was evenly shared by Queens Park, the federal government and the City of Barrie. This could be the way financing is arranged for the Kitchener expan- sion, he said. Along with a possible station in Acton, GO is proposing to twin the large trestle bridge over the Credit River in order to improve service on the line. Currently the single track is a bottleneck for GO between the Georgetown station and the new Mount Pleasant station. A second track is necessary to increase the number of GO trains on the line along with accommo- dating the CN freight traffic. The single track permits only one-way operation inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon to be co-ordinated with CN and GO. Doubling the track would allow two-way traffic with early morning trains returning for second trips. There is also a possibility of a third track to allow GO to have a two- way operation and CN to have its own line. GO is still considering options regarding the number of trains and timing, but expects two of the four trains that currently start and end at Georgetown to start and end in Kitchener. GO is proposing improvements to the Georgetown station includ- ing upgrading to full accessibility, more parking, and likely the replacement of the McNabb St. bridge. MPP Arnott has urged the provincial government to move for- ward on improving GO Transit serv- ice through Wellington-Halton Hills. The trains that take people to work every day are critical to our economy, environment, and quali- ty of life, said Arnott in the legis- lature recently. Thats why I was pleased this spring when GO Transit announced its environmen- tal assessment to extend rail serv- ice from Georgetown through Acton to Guelph and Kitchener- Waterloo. Working with the mem- ber of Kitchener-Waterloo, togeth- er we have supported this vision for years. He said if the McGuinty gov- ernment demands municipalities adhere to its Places to Grow growth targets it has no excuse to deal this crucial transportation infrastructure project. I urge the Minister of Transportation to act. I urge him to commit to make this project a GO, said Arnott in the legislature. Wellington-Halton Hills MP Michael Chong was overlooked by Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he selected his cabinet yester- day (Thursday). The former intergovernmental affairs minister, who was once widely regarded as a rising Tory star, quit cabinet in 2006 after Harper recognized the Quebis as a nation within a nation. He hasnt been invited back. Chong was unavailable for comment Thursday.

The food bank serves 237 adults and 145 children monthly. The Independent & Free Press regrets the error. The food drive will be held tomorrow (Saturday). Georgetown residents are encouraged to have their bags (which were distributed in the Wednesday Independent & Free Press) filled with food items outside of their door by 8:30 a.m. for pick-up. The most needed items are canned meat and stew, canned fish, jam, cheese spreads, canned juice and juice boxes, powdered milk, canned milk, canned fruits and vegetables, nutritious snacks for children, mini fruit cups, peanut butter, instant coffee and personal care items such as sham- poo, toothpaste and brushes, deodorant, shaving cream and razors.
