Mandate change could cause "unnecessary" delays Continued from page 1 Marilyn Serjeantson, chairman of the public works committee and a Halton Hills councillor, told Ranson that although she could see the merit of an umbrella group to provide input into all Silver Creek area projects, she was concerned that the overall process for approv- ing reconstruction of Mountainview Rd. through Hungry Hollow might be unnecessarily delayed. The pro- ject, which would include recon- struction of Mountainview from Eden Pl. to Regional Rd. 10, is expected to go ahead in 1994, “There’s a human life danger down there (Hungry Hollow),” Serjeantson said, referring to people who walk and bicycle in the area. Proposals, such as the road’s reconstrfiction and the walkway, are “immediate needs for existing residents and are not related to future growth,” she said. While neither Ranson nor Rowan discounted the-need for the road’s reconstruction, both said it should be viewed in a larger context— specifically, how it would affect the Silver Creek Valley in combination with other projects proposed for the area. “The ecosystem and fisheries eee of Silver and Black Creeks eed protection,” said ae dur- ine an Sgeabit Thur: orgetown man represents a non- S profit angling association with 350 members, most of whom live in Southern Ontario. The group raises and spends $20,000 annually on water conservation projects, he said. A strong advocate of a sub-water- shed plan for Halton Hills as well as a hydrogeolgical study that would determine the quantity and source of water available for Georgetown and area, Rowan said it’s difficult to the water supply. vee works or how much water oy Ranson, also pete Thursday, Valley is the overall issue.” projects proposed for the area should come under the scrutiny of the yet-to-be-formed PLC, he added. The Mountainview Rd. recon- struction project and the trunk sewer are just some of the proposals that the committee should deal with, Ranson said. Others include a walk- way across Silver Creek Valley, reconstruction of Main St. through the valley and a watermain installa- tion along Main St. “We must protect the were integrity as an existing natural ares with a Sates wildlife saa nent,” he Asked = comment on the sugges- tion that the PLC’s mandate be expanded, th Region’s director of engineering services Ric Robertshaw predicted that a wider scope for the group will result in delays for projects in the Silver Creek area. Environmental Assessment studies are traditionally a long, and often complicated, process, he said. An umbrella group looking at overall impacts of all projects would lengthen the process, he concluded. Robertshaw said the “cumulative Halton HillsThis Week, Saturday, - 111992, Page 5 impact” of projects will be consid- ered in wi ieee of alterna- tives. However, Ranson told Halton Hills This Week that he would like “clarification” from the Region about how it will look at “cumula- tive effects.” The PLC “should be up and run- ae by September,” Robertshaw . In the meantime, Region staff will meet with consultants to draw up the group’s terms of reference. 877-9312 sas + Specializing in Antiques sts nem + Replaceme + Kitchen & Og Chairs Rec. Vehicle R.E.
