The Acton Free Press Wednesday August IS These Hydro sentinels march through Burlington Has the original Hydro corridor been discarded total tins the Ontario proposal for a power corridor from to Pickering discarded Not necessarily but quite likely So this newspaper was told by I the environmental planning consultants lured Commission find a better roulc than original route Hydro proposed The original route of the corridor proposed by Hydro was to have run through Terra Cotta along the south of and romosa townships and then cut diagonally across township A sub- elation was to have been located near for a NorthSouth hook up that would run between farms along Hie and Fifth Concessions in squaring to another substation south of Milton The final decision on the line from Dr Solandl as to the preferred route In Ins turn will receive a recommendation from Bill as a result of their studies the past year This will be revealed a press conference at Queens Park Monday September 13 Ontario Hydro has also a part play somewhere In the proceedings but it has not been defined The original route was out at far the Bill study was concerned They started the study fresh with no preconceived route and came up with four alternative routes one of which was rejected by Ontario Hydro as being too risky in the event of disaster However parts or the original route also appeared In the other three alternatives As a result of a public meeting In Acton one of the alternative routes was modified and considered and placed on the agenda at subsequent meetings with the public The modified suggested the lines should Tallow Highway and the proposed Belt on their way through Meanwhile however it least two proposals from this area have suggested that the original route should be con One came in a brief from Milton Council authored by Mayor Brian Best which argued that when all factors were considered the route was best Framosa township council also suggested it be considered as second choice to The Milton brief points out a route along t would adversely affect the Kelso Conservation area the County Museum and the proposed provincial agricultural museum to be built at Kelso The irony of the situation is that the Region Conservation Authority wtiich operates the huge Kelso complex has suggested the 1 route is best and will affect Authority holdings least They have sent a to the Solandl Commission urging l as the best route through the county So on the one hand we have Milton suggesting Kilso would be adversely On the other hand the people who operate the concern suggest would be best The now almost comic drama extends to nearby township as well The township fired a submission away to the recommending the hdro corridor should follow but which also said that with the exception of Councillor Betty Lou Clark the council would prefer the original proposal If is not accepted This raised some fireworks at a Council meeting last week when one resident and a councillor suggested they were speaking out of turn the original route had been scrapped Another farmer affected bj the original route said two officials from Ontario Hydro assured him it necessarily so If the routes suggested by Bill art not acceptable they were reported as saying the original route was still very much In contention This kind of talk from officials or Ontario Hydro of course cast doubts on the real roll tin Bruce group plays in the final decision for the root swath of lowers and acre substations It seems that the request for sub missions from Ihi various municipalities is also unlikely to solve anything either Alt most affected municipalities request the corridor go somewhere other than their own municipality the cnsultants told this newspaper Selfish Maybe But the spectre of the mass of towers and substation forests does not bring out the best in politicians The most perceptive sec that if the marching rowpaycrs wilt closest whipping boys at hand which means them That hind of talk going to help them at the next There another paradox here too We have yet to hear anyone seriously dispute the need for the corridor Everybody seems to admit it Is necessary but outside of those who have worthless acres they could sell to Ontario Hydro and then rent them back for SI a year the general mood has been them away from here Over people in North Hilton and the south part of Wellington Erin and townships signed a petition In a one day campaign requesting the corridor follow 401 Highway Even if you acknowledge that some people will sign anything the figure is still pretty We if Premier Davis knew the hornets nest he was going to stir up when the pcopleof the prov should a say in where the heavy duty corridor was to go He is brave Indeed if he did week the deputy reeve of suggested that those who opposed the route were helping out Canada incmici by denying needed power to in dustry farm At a recent meeting the Warden of Anne threatened to cut off grants to Region Authority from Nassagaweya if hey endorsed a resolution suggesting the follow She later retracted and declined to vote in the resolution declaring a conflict of interest because the line would go through bordering the expressway The lesson hero is Self interest is not confined lo the residents of the townships It extends into the political arena as well Only few weeks previously Mrs wis accusing the land barons north of Toronto or using pressure to get the lines off their estates With ill the sparring over the east west route of the corridor most people arc not there arc still other corridors which will intersect with the cast west one the most important for this area being the north south one originating from the Bruce generating station at Douglas Point It is going to take a firm hand to straighten the issues out and decide where that best route for the powerful hydro lines will be laid nut and it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish bet ween what is self interest ana what is political expediency final decision must not appear to be autocrat but we fear it will be And this defeat the entire purpose of the Solandt Commission enquiry
