IURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1998 THE NEW TANNER 7 \cton roads are in pretty good shape' FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner A quarter-kilometre etch of Churchill Road ween Orville and igfield Roads has the du- us honour of being the lon road most in need of nediate repair. The Town's latest roads -ds study identifies 133 jects, just under 70-kilo- tres of roads that need to reconstructed, repaired or laced. The projects are oritized according to their dition and level of traffic "There are certainly a nber of streets in Acton t are in the "now" defi- nt category and obviously, thing to do is to get at m," Ron Goddard, the wn's supervisor of capital rks explained in an inter- w on Monday, adding that all, the roads are in good pe. "We have a 21.4 per cent drop in the total length of roads in the "now" category," Goddard said as he rattled off a list of a dozen Acton road projects that had been com- pleted within the past five years. "We've done really well in Acton. People think that Georgetown is getting all the money, but from an engineer- ing point of view that's not the way it is, or has been," Goddard said. The bridge at Church Street and Main Street South, a. $148,000 project, the re- construction of a stretch of Fourth Line at 22 Side Road and projects on Dublin Line at 25 Side Road and 22 Side Roads are among the 25 top priorities on the list. The bill for the entire list is just under $33 million. The most expensive Acton project on the "now" priority list is the resurfacing of Commerce Crescent at $612,000. With a fairly steady stream of residents asking council to put their road at the top of the list the updated roads needs study gives coun- cil and staff a working docu- ment that shows right where the problems are. Ward 2 (including rural Acton) Councillor Kevin Kuiack said that the report would be valuable during up coming budget talks and asked that councillors not deal with the roads issues until staff could make a pres- entation to let the public know how the choices on the list were made. Mayor Marilyn Serjeantson supported the deferral, but also said she wants an explanation of how tural roads are reconstructed, changed or improved. "We're always being questioned about how we spend our money," Serjeantson said. Town councillors will deal with the roads needs re- port on March 23. @ LEGION NEwsBRANCH No. 197 By MIKE MANUEL egion Public Relations If your ever wondering at you could do on a Fri- 'night that won't cost you ocket-full of money; well isider coming down to the Legion for a fun filled evening and play some euchre.
