L5A 2J1 Old Bronte Road/Khalsa Gate Streetscape Plan This report went to Council December 12, 2011 and TTHS made a delegation to counsel regarding our concerns. The majority of the plan is fine but we are concerned that the same protections for heritage south of Dundas along Bronte have not been included for Bronte North of Dundas. The area south of Dundas has been called the "Historic Core" while the north area has been called "Upper Village. We would like both areas to be called "Historic Core" and have the same focus. You can see the descriptions on P. 24 of the report. The report lacks photos of the heritage buildings north of Dundas. We also feel that the historic core should extend down to the school house to include the Hagar house, Palermo church, the Switzer home and the 1820 home just west of the schoolhouse. We would hate to give a developer ammunition from a town document that demolition or not preserving is an option in the "upper village." .Counsel voted unanimously to defer the item until next year until further consultationcould be made. Please review the details here http://www.oakville.ca/business/old-bronte-road-streetscape-plan.html and forward comments to iwaghray@oakville.ca. Please cc michelle@tths.ca so we can insure the comments are included in reports to counsel. Town Request We have received a request from the town to pass on a link for a survey on election signs to our Oakville members. The deadline is February 10th. I requested a hard copy and can print them off for anyone needing one. Here is the linkhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s_thankyou.aspx?sm=5Cps3pmWb%2b1CpT0FnZKpPp0AJYtPw1X m7FGSE%2fPV9LA%3d 1
