we send the whole task force home and spend the money on a lot of other things said Burl Councillor Walter Mulkewlch The task force costs about million Halton response listed a number of objections to the studies The ob jections include the majority of a railway crossings where 60 per cent of the accidents occur are on a grade which makes them more dangerous for travel because Is composed main ly of small communities especially In the north its emergency response faculties are not as adequate as Metros no attention was given to dangerous goods transported by road rerouting trains would require more train restructuring at June tlons like Milton Such shunting may increase the risk of accident rerouting would require more ter for train to truck transport in Halton thereby increasing the
