to develop an Chlnguacousy boundary road The county has given Initial goahead for the development of the road to meet with High way 7 at the east entrance to Norval Development of the road would entail fill and a bridge over Ihe Credit River plus an overpass across High way Describing his opposition Mr Crookston said its a question of preserving a piece of the environment He con tends that construction of the road somewhere may be in the Interests of progress but at the site chosen ills not In the In of conservation Mr said con of the road would result in two big gashes In the Credit River escarpment as well as destruction of a large number of big and established trees now lining Highway Last week the Norval man t out his objections to two newly acclaimed members of the regional government of North Halton Georgetown councillor Ernie Sykes and Esquesing deputy reeve Coxe Coun Sykes who has served on the county council roads committee will represent Ward and deputy reeve Coxe will represent Ward Also present briefly was Georgetown Mayor BUI Smith who is one of four candidates seeking the regional post of mayor He told Mr Crookston you made several good points but admitted he would want to look at all sides of the question before coming to a conclusion Coun Sykes agreed with Mr Crookston that extensive concrete and earthworks would be required for the overpass which would be constructed on the existing boundary road right next to the Crookston property The boundry road route Is one of three studied A similar feeder route ran Into organized opposition from another area of Mr Crookston said he Is convinced opposition to this other route was mounted Mr said the overpass being contemplated for boundary road would look like the Burlington skyway He complained that Ihe province has wrecked one section of a new bridge and realignment of Highway and now the county Is deter mined to wreck another The proposed boundary road development is seen as a connecting link with Winston ChurchlU Boulevard In Mississauga and would filter population traffic northward to recreation areas Of the Credit River watershed In 1970 a feasibility study was undertaken at the request of Halton County by Rankin and Associates Of the three routes studied the firm recommended the boundary road route as the best functional alignment or the three routes considered Decision was based on through and north south traffic movement straight alignment and grade and diversion of traffic from potentially dangerous in emotions with Peel Road 19 and Highway 7 Based on the study cost of the project was placed at 000 It is ptanned to carry project In two stages the first Involving the overpass and road to the north of High Crossing of the Credit River would form stage two which would not come about until traffic warranted Cost or construction of the first stage was pegged at Including for actual construction of the grade separation and road or this amount share would be with an equal amount borne by Peel County and the remainder by the province Provincial approval fios yet to be obtained for the project Deputy reeve Coxe said the can be expected to be In abeyance until the advent of regional government North officially becomes a regional ad ministration in January OF THINGS But Coun said project fits In with the scheme of things or development of northsouth collector routes Within a 20- year planning period it is predicted that Winston chill Boulevard will be developed Into a six lane divided urban arterial within West Credit Development Area Ultimate population forecast for he area Is put at persons Connection with Highway would make the boundary road a route for traffic travelling between Georgetown and Metropolitan Toronto cording to Ihe feasibility report Connection with Highway depends upon residential development In the area Mr Crookston has Indicated he is prepared to continue his opposition to boundary road development at the regional council level
