The Oakville Beaver, W e d n e sd a y M a rch 26, 2003 - A 5 New bridge needed to serve new Bronte business park By Kim Arnott SPEC IA L TO n IE BEA V ER A new bridge across Bronte Creek and an under pass on Burloak Drive at the CN railroad tracks are need ed to accommodate growth in the westernmost parts oT the town, says Ward 1 Regional Councillor Kevin Flynn. On Monday night. Town Council approved a plan that will see the development of a 53-hectare commercial busi ness park at the southeast comer of Burloak Drive and the QEW . That business develop ment, along with the residen tial development of the for mer Shell lands, will increase the need for both the bridge and railroad underpass, Flynn told councillors. " For this entire neigh bourhood to work success fully, Council will have to come to grips with those two expensive and necessary projects," he said. The Burloak Signature Park, as the new commercial area has been named, will bring 4(X).(XX) sq. ft. of largescale retail space, as well as office and light industrial development, to the area. Land uses could include office buildings, hotels and restaurants. government buildings, recreational facili ties, schools and light indus trial manufacturing opera tions. A Petro-Canada gas sta tion is planned for the south east comer of Burloak Drive and the South Service Road, and The Building Box has applied for site plan approval for a large-scale home improvement store in the development. The lands are currently being used for agricultural purposes. As part of the develop ment, an extension of Wyecroft Road will be con structed to run from Burloak Drive to MacPherson Road. It w ill hook up with Burlington's Harvester Road, but it will not link up with the existing Wyecroft Road until the Town constructs a bridge over Bronte Creek. Once the new section of Wyecroft Road is completed, the South Service Road will be closed and the land sold to the Burloak Signature Park developers. Prior to the start of con struction work, the develop ers w ill be required to demonstrate to the Town, the City of Burlington, the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Conservation Halton that traffic issues in the area can be dealt with satisfactorily. The construction of a grade separation, which would be either an underpass or bridge, to replace the level crossing of the railroad tracks, is in the Town's capi tal forecast for construction in 2012. Oakville and Burlington will share the cost of creating a way for traffic to safely cross the tracks, as Burloak Drive is a shared road. Development of the busi ness park will take place in three phases, and Town Planner Sally Stull said the first building permits for the site are expected to be issued in about a year. Oakville firm fined $45,000 for health and safety violations An Oakville firm has been fined $45,000 for six violations of the Occupational Health and Safety Act that resulted in serious hand injuries to an employee. LP* Tool and Manufacturing Inc., a tool and die company which manufactures automobile parts, was levied the fine March 13. On August 27, 2001 a worker was operating a punch press at the Oakville plant when the machine malfunctioned and went through an extra cycle. The worker lost several fingers on the left hand. A Ministry of Labour investigation found the press had not been properly maintained. Several key parts of the press were cor roded and lacked lubrica tion. A piston seal was almost shredded and the machine itself lacked an oil atomizer, lubricator and air dryer. The ministry found the worker had never been made aware of any of these hazards. The incidents occurred at LP Tool and Manufacturing Inc.'s plant on Wyecroft Road in Oakville. Following the trial, LP Tool and Manufacturing Inc. was found guilty, as an employee of: · Failing to ensure the press was maintained in good condition; · Tailing to acquaint a worker with a hazard associ ated with working the press; · Failing to prepare and annually review a written occupational health and safety policy and to develop and maintain a program to implement that policy: · Failing to post a copy of the occupational health and safety policy in a conspicu ous location at the work place: · Failing to cause work ers to select a worker health and safety representative who did not exercise mana gerial functions: · Failing to ensure a health and safety representa tive inspected the physical condition of a workplace at least once a month.

In addition, the court imposed a 25 percent victim fine surcharge, as required by the Provincial Offences Act.
