"They want it to be af- fordable and meet the needs of everyone," she said, admitting that it will be no easy task. To date, the survey has nearly 400 respon- dents. The town has contract- ed WSP Con- sulting to conduct the study and flesh out plans for a transit system in town, which they aim to present next spring. In a presentation to the crowd of residents, project manager Jim Gough said the group is looking at what challenges exist in transit in the area and op- portunities to solve them. "Some businesses, par- ticularly the ones down of Steeles, are having a hard time getting employees," he said when asked about how business owners play into the study. He also noted that ser- vicing down to the new Oakville-Trafalgar Memo- rial Hospital is a key inter- est, for patients being re- ferred there from the Georgetown Hospital. When asked about how the town will pay for the transit sys- tem, he ex- plained that they are not at that point in the study yet but will be re- searching funding from devel- opment charges and grants to subsidize the ser- vice. "Affordability was something that we heard very loud and very clear," he said. With the plans only in its infancy, some residents commented on how diffi- cult it is to visualize what the end result could be. Gough stressed that the end result likely will not look like a typical fixed bus route system. It could be a main route with a number of off-shoots, or on-demand servicing much like Lyft or Uber. "I think that transit is essential for dignity and independence," said Alli- son Jones, an Acton resi- dent who came out to the consultation with her daughter. "I also feel strongly that this consul- tation should be held in Acton as well." She says people who re- ly on public transit in the area face barriers to ac- cessing health care and miss out on many free- doms and social benefits. "We don't need to think of transit as a fixed route bus system," she said. Ex- amples of modern systems in other municipalities were set upon poster boards in the town's front hallway during the con- sultation - towns like In- nisfil, which partnered with Uber to bring transit servicing to the area. The town provides an average of $5.73 to subsidize each passenger. The consultation will be ongoing throughout the study. To fill out the sur- vey, go to bit.ly/2Gysevt. NEWS l Continued from page 1 Affordability No. 1 priority for residents 'I think that transit is essential for dignity and independence.' - Allison Jones, Acton Starting March 1, all door-to-door sales of a long list of household appliances and services are banned in Ontario. The new law will protect consumers from aggressive and misleading contracting at home, according to a news release from the prov- ince. It applies to unsolicited sales, making any contracts signed in a consumer's home void. The only time a contract signed in a con- sumer's home would be val- id is if the consumer had contacted the business ahead of time and invited them to their home. And those contracts come with a 10-day cooling off period, al- lowing cancellation for any reason without penalty. Businesses will have to keep a record of in-home contracts noting how con- tact was made with the con- sumer, according to the new law. The province says door- to-door contracts have been among the top complaints made to the Ministry of Gov- ernment and Consumer Services. Ontario is the second Ca- nadian province to restrict door-to-door sales and con- tracts. THE NEW LAW APPLIES TO . air cleaners; . air conditioners; . air purifiers; . duct cleaning services; . furnaces; . water filters; . water heaters; . water purifiers; . water softeners; . water treatment devices; . bundles of the above goods and services.
