YEAR Lt in $ 4 Decision to allow longer tractor trailers on the road is met with mixed emotions By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff 7 hile longer tractorâ€"trailâ€" ers will allow Ontario truckers to be more competltlve concerns over safety continue to dog the provmce s decision to increase the maximum size of the vehicles. Earlier this month Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot announced that Ontario will now permit 16.2 metre semiâ€" trailers (up 1.6 metres from the current maximum) while the limit for double trailer combinations will increase by two metres to a total of 25 metres. Since similar sizes are legal in several provinces and 45 U.S. states, Pouliot believes enhanced competitiveness will assist in the province‘s economic recovery. "To be competitive in the North American market, our manâ€" ufacturers, shippers and truckers must be able to use the same size vehicles as their competition," said Pouliot. "The trucking indusâ€" try moves 70% of Ontario‘s manâ€" ufactured goods. By carrying 10% more freight for about the same costs, industry will save more than $100 million annualâ€" 1y 3 According to the Ministry, the move will allow Ontario to keep pace with the growing trend l * Golf Packages * Weekend Retreats from $75.00 pp/pn (based on double occ., includes continental breakfast taxes) * Sporting Facilities Join us for a celebration of summer.

(Semiâ€" trailers are loaded onto the flatbed rail cars for long hauls.) Stefanie Riley of Oakville‘s Truboy Freight International says that while her company is not in the market for longer vehicles at the moment, she recognized the benefits to the trucking industry as a whole. Safety, however, is not an issue she says. "I don‘t see where the extra 10 feet is going to make any differâ€" ence," she said. "Oversized loads travel the highways all the time. I would think width would be more of a concern than length." Pouliot agrees with that opinâ€" ion saying "The experience of all other jurisdictions has been posiâ€" tive. Longer trucks will result in substantial savings in transportaâ€" tion costs without highway safety being compromised." While Riley said the legislaâ€" tion will allow transport compaâ€" nies to ship larger materials, the Ministry makes it clear that in spite of the greater capacity there will be no increase in maximum permissible vehicle weights. Even so, the larger units will be well suited to carrying bulky, lowâ€"weight materials like auto parts, furniture and appliances. Night Table w22 D16 H24 Now Orangeville |Hwy. #9 Not everyone is happy with the legislation, â€" however. The Hamilton Automobile Club (HAC) for example, expressed its dismay over the growth in truck lengths which has increased 20% during the past nine years. "In a recent CAA Public Policy survey of over 1,300 CAA Ontario motorists, 95.2% indicatâ€" ed they did not want to see a truck length increase," said Catherine Newell, â€" HAC‘s Director of â€" Public and Government Affairs. To back up HAC‘s claim that existing trucks are already a sigâ€" nificant safety concern, Newell explained that during the Ministry‘s Safety Blitz of May 1992, 37% of the trucks checked were removed from service. This year that figure has improved only marginally and 34% were taken off the road. Newell is pleased, however, that two safety initiatives recommendâ€" ed by HAC â€" mandatory underâ€" ride protection and the use of reflective tape â€" were adopted by the Ministry. Bumper equipment at the rear of trailers will be made larger and stronger to prevent cars from going under the rear in a colliâ€" sion. Reflective markings will also be required along the length and rear of trailers, increasing visibility in darkness and bad weather. Front Row Centre Joins cause to help St. Mary‘s Cemetery Â¥nspired by the steps already ‘ taken by other concerned citâ€" .. izens, Front Row Centre has pltched in to help with the rejuâ€" venation of Old Oakville/St. Mary‘s Cemetery. By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff Nine members of the Oakville Centre‘s volunteer arm recently agreed to take on the project after discussing at their June meeting a story in the Oakville Beaver outlining the disrepair and vandalism at the Lyons Lane site. They then spoke to Town cemetery coâ€"ordinator Heather Turenne and other Parks and Recreation representatives and decided on a plan of action. According to Front Row Centre president June Best, four members recently spent two hours in the cemetery weeding and pruning away heavy shrubâ€" bery from old grave markers. Best explained that in the winâ€" ter her group runs the Oakville Centre‘s coat check and hosts assorted fundraising events. This summer project will enable interâ€" ested members to give something back to the community at large. "We quite enjoyed it ... until the mosquitos came out," said Best. "But we‘re planning to go back several times." Several local service clubs and individuals have expressed interest in helping out at the cemetery.
