10 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 2006 HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE: Barb Smith and Leanne Monaghan from Staying Alive Fitness offered healthier choices when it comes to snacking during the Taste of Acton. NO CLOWNING HERE: Miss Acton Fall Fair, Becky Somerville was aided by some crazy clowns as they showed visitors to Saturdays fun the upcoming building to be built by the Agricultural Society. CLASSIC CARS: Always a sensual as well as a photographers delight, shiny, spruced autos of all vintages lined Mill St. for A Taste of Acton. A FAVOURITE: A Taste of Acton had downtown eat- eries showing off their best eats on Saturday. Nancy Plowman of Godfathers Pizza had piping hot slices ready for the crowds. HOW HOT WAS IT? Saturdays Taste of Acton proved to be a bit of a scorcher, yet, that didnt stop Christopher and Matthew Anderson from enjoying their day along with their dog Eddie. A Taste of Acton in sweltering heat 310 Guelph St. Unit 5 Georgetown 905-873-4405 Eye 2008 for Main St. N. repaving Georgetown compromise A narrower centre divider and wider sidewalks are fea- tured in a compromise plan worked out for the recon- struction of Main Street in historic downtown George- town next year. The issue of widening the sidewalks at the expense of removing the centre island polarized those with interests in the downtown, but the Town and merchants and BIA (Business Improvement Area) hammered out a deal that has been approved by councillors, allowing the centre medians to remain and help retain the small town character. *** Switching to Main Street in Acton, Regional Ward 1/2 Councillor Clark Somerville asked staff what happens now to secure funding for that project, now that it is in place for Main Street in Georgetown and the other top project, completion of intersection improvements at Guelph street and Mountain- view Road. Town Engineer Rick Henry said recent Move Ontario one-time infrastructure grant money will provide $400,000 for the Main Street proj- ect in Georgetown, leaving $624,000 to put towards re- constructing Main Street South in Acton. We may have to add, (to) come back at budget (de- bates) next year for a little bit of extra funds to complete the project, but engineer- ing will be completed and the construction project will commence in 07 on Main Street South in Acton, Henry said. Link funding Thanks to the provinces Connecting Link Program, improvements will be com- pleted at Georgetowns busiest intersection and Main Street (Highway 7) from the west Acton urban limit to Mill Street will be resurfaced in 2008. The so-called connecting link funding pays for repairs and improvements where municipal and provincial roads meet. It appeals to Georgetown Councillor Bob Inglis who called it leveraged money and great for taxpayers at a recent meeting when Coun- cil approved how to spend $1.9-million in connecting link funding promised until 2014. For the Acton Main Street resurfacing for instance its a $650,000 project and the property taxpayers of this town pay a little less than $620,000 Inglis said, asking if the connecting link money could vanish on a whim from the province, or if it is stable. Engineer Rick Henry said the Ministry of Transporta- tion has never indicated it was going to end the project, but the Ministry does want municipalities to take over control of what are now provincial roads, like the recent request to Halton, which it rejected, to assume Highway 7. I havent heard its go- ing to disappear, but theres less and less money being made available and more demand for the money from other municipalities, Henry said.
