councillors went along with the changes to the Georgetown South and West Secondary Plans that the town had recently recommended The modifications now go the Minister of Municipal Affairs for final approval The amendments mainly deal with the concept of Road serving as the major entranccway Into Georgetown Area resident Peter Woolgar strongly objected to this concept and wanted a decm zing of Ninth Line Mountainview Road as the main route into town Both town and regional councils agreed with this and endorsed the rinding of alternate routes into George town to balance distribution of traffic The change now designates Mountain view as one of several access roads into Georgetown Regional councillors also agreed to retain the current 30 meter right of way width for Road as town councillors had requested and to annually monitor traffic volumes on Mountainview Road Present at the regional council meeting In which these amendments were approved Mr Woolgar asked council also consider keeping the right of way width from Summit Lane to Avenue at Its current meters The Official plans designate It to be 35 meters to handle the anticipated increased traffic from a Ninth Line and Highway interchange the Ministry of Transportation and Communlcatl proposes to in the next We ask that no action be taken until the residents in the area have had a chance to establish a cose for a right of way less than 35 meters Mr Woolgar said He also said he wanted traffic alternatives looked at when traffic volumes on Mountainview Road get to a level where safety is a concern Burlington Joan Little said she appreciated his concern about traffic and asked bow he felt about having on extra turning lane on the four lane roadway Mr Woolgar said he like to have a warning flag waved when traffic volumes get to the stage where safely becomes a concern Rather than widen Mountainview or add an extra lane to accommodate more cars Mr would like to see efforts mode to distribute traffic
