DATE: May 26, 2014 TIME: 7:30 P.M. LOCATION: Council Chambers, Civic Centre, 1 Halton Hills Drive, Georgetown The portion of the GTA West Preliminary Route Planning Study Area within the Town of Halton Hills includes lands bounded by (Refer to Key Map): i) North - 10 Side Road and the Hamlet of Norval ii) East - Winston Churchill Blvd. iii) South - Highway 401 iv) West - rear lot line of lots fronting on Eighth Line The Province of Ontario is undertaking the GTA West EA, and to date has determined the need for a future Provincial highway from Hwy 400 to Hwy 401/Hwy 407 in Halton Hills, within the Preliminary Route Planning Study Area. Phase 2 of the GTA West EA which will identify the location of the transportation corridor within the Study Area has recently commenced. Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Amendment: The proposed amendment will implement corridor protection on the lands within the Preliminary Route Planning Study Area to prevent development that would preclude the future location of transportation corridor(s), pending the completion of the GTA West EA process, and any EA for an East-West connection identified in HPBATS. The Town also proposes to implement modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 10 in order to re-locate/ re-phase the Town's supply of employment lands to the 2021 planning horizon in the area west of Eighth Line, north of Steeles Avenue, outside of the Preliminary Route Planning Study Area (Refer to Key Map). The Town of Halton Hills would then initiate a land use planning exercise (i.e. secondary plan) for those lands and potential additional lands. Additional Information: Following the statutory public meeting, Town staff will prepare a report to Council which will respond to oral and written comments received, and provide a final recommendation on the proposed Official Plan Amendment and proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 10. Copies of the proposed Official Plan Amendment and proposed modifications to Official Plan Amendment No. 10 will be available for public review on May 6, 2014 at the Town of Halton Hills Planning, Development and Sustainability Department, 1 Halton Hills Drive, Halton Hills, Ontario L7G 5G2 or on the Town's website at: http://www.haltonhills.ca/initiatives/developmentAreas.php.

NOTICE OF STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING GTA West Transportation Corridor Protection/Halton Hills Employment Lands Phasing 52 Fogal, Town get Bicyling leadership awards Regional Councillor Jane Fogal has received a Bicycling Leadership Award from The Share the Road Cycling Co- alition. Eleanor McMahon, CEO and Founder of Share the Road, made the presentation at Queens Park recently during the Ontario Bike Summit MPP Reception. "I am grateful to Eleanor (McMahon CEO and Founder of Share the Road) and Share the Road for this recogni- tion of the work I have been doing to encourage cycling in our community," said Fogal. "I am proud of our accom- plishments thus far, and look forward to continuing the cycling conversation in Halton Hills." The Bicycling Leadership Award recognizes champions at the munici- pal level who have demonstrated com- mitment and leadership to growing and supporting cycling in their own communities and the province. This year, Halton Hills was recog- nized as a Bronze Bicycle Friendly Community at the Summit. Fogal was recognized for her work in advancing cycling in Halton Hills and her role in securing the Bronze Bicycle Friendly Designation for Hal- ton Hills. "We are delighted to honour Coun- cillor Fogal's dedica- tion and commitment to promoting cycling in Halton Hills, the Region of Halton and the province of On- tario," said McMahon. "Her enthusiasm and leadership are evident in her support of local bicycling initiatives and events, including the Epic Tour de Hal- ton and our Halton Active Communities Summit in 2012, and her work to make Halton Hills more bicycle friendly." One of Fogal's notable cycling ac- complishments was leading last year's successful Halton Hills Community Cycling Challenge. Participants cycled a combined 200,000 km in support of the Georgetown Hospital Foundation. She also chairs the Town's Trails and Cycling Advisory Committee. "On behalf of my Council col- leagues I extend congratulations to Councillor Fogal for this well-deserved award. She is a great community am- bassador and an invaluable contribu- tor on Council and to the health and well-being of our Town," said Mayor Rick Bonnette. JANE FOGAL
