By Maggie Petrushevsky Despite a few pointed fi ngers because the tender went $50,000 over bud- get, Halton Hills council has approved a Kitchener fi rms bid to build Actons 3 Musketears Skatepark. Parks Design and Con- struct ion coordinator Rakesh Mistry attributed the unexpectedly high ten- der price to several factors. The hike in the price of oil has raised operating costs by increasing the price of fuel; materials are more expensive due to the high Canadian dollar and many contractors already have their fall work lined up, he said. Probably we should have tendered earlier, he told council, because many contractors get their fall jobs in place in the spring. As a result, only two of the nine eligible contractors bid on the project and the second tender was more than $70,000 higher than the $263,517 bid from Gateman-Milloy Inc., of Kitchener. WEARABLE ART: Jessica Shilson, 7, enjoyed making bead necklaces and tie-dying her own bandana at the town- run Art Camp last week. - Maggie Petrushevsky photo FUN FIGURES: McKenzie MacTavish, 10, sculpted a battleship, then decorated it with pompom fi gures he made during last weeks Art Camp at the Acton arena. Maggie Petrushevsky photo Council dips into reserve funds to cover skateboard park shortfall Staff did look at scaling back elements of the park, but the design makes that unworkable. Mistry said. If council wanted to pursue a change in design to match available funds, then more money would be eaten up in consulting fees to make those changes. As a result council agreed to take $29,900 from the towns Capital Financing Reserve Fund and $20,500 from Development Charges Deferred Revenue to cover the shortfall.

Still others, like truckers hauling car parts to the Honda plant at Alliston, may be unfa- miliar with the roads and use what appears to be the logical short cut according to their GPS maps. Some of them are dis- covering that trying to get a 53-foot trailer through downtown Acton doesnt work well, he told his fel- low councillors. Coun. Mike OLeary pointed out that the prob- lem with trucks through the downtown has been with us forever and cautioned against measures that might drive truckers to use some of the other streets, such as Wallace and McDonald, that run through residential neighbourhoods. On top of the dangers that would pose for children who live on those streets, he questioned whether residential roads were engineered to carry heavy trucks. Remembering that a cou- ple of the streets run past industries which might le- gitimately require service from delivery trucks, he questioned what signage could be used to discourage all trucks except those mak- ing local deliveries. Henry said MTO staff have assured him in the past that they would be happy to work with the town on the issue of enforcement.
