Even so, Philip Bender is apprehensive about the project’s future in light of what appears to be an unwavering stance by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO). Last November, the Erin area in two buildings at the former Timberland Lumber property on Highway 7, just south of Silver Creek. Although Bender and his busi- ness partners had hoped to have the market open before this past Christmas, they soon learned that several approvals were necessary before the new enterprise could Even with NEC approval, the future of the project remains uncer- tain because the MTO insists that a left turning lane be built on the highway to accommodate the extra traffic which the market is expected to generate. It’s projected that high- way traffic will increase by about 2,200 cars per weekend if the new business gets the go-ahead. With the cost of a turning lane pegged at about $180,000, Bender said it represents the biggest hurdle to be faced by the proposal. “It makes the economic viability of our project, just not feasible,” he s aid. With close to 40 vendors show- ing an interest in manning booths at the market, Bender said it’s impor- tant to note, “We haven’t given oe With the help of Halton North MPP Noel Duignan, Bender and other ives of Barnside begin. Among these was Pp: permit approval from the Niagara Escarpment Commission (NEC). Last Thursday, the NEC gave its blessing to the project. “I’m quite elated by the decision, particularly since the initial staff report by the NEC was to deny our application,” Bender said during a telephone interview Monday.

Within the next two years, the MTO plans to widen the section of highway running past the proposed market site to four lanes with a cen- tre turning lane, Bender said. If those plans are firm, he hopes the Ministry will relent and allow the market to be established this year without the construction of a left turning lane. Besides meeting conditions set the MTO, backers of the market must satisfy site plan approval pro- visions set by the Town of Halton Hills and conditions of the Halton Region Health Unit.
