Group wants Bronte Rd. to remain two lanes By SHELLY SANDERS GREER Special to the Beaver Now that the southerly crossing is not necessarily tied to an expansion of Bronte Road to four lanes, Bronte Citizens United are not opposed to a south crossing. However, they are insistent that Bronte Road remain as it is â€"a twoâ€"lane road with shoulders. In a public meeting on Thursday night, John Sutherns â€" a professional engineer with McCormick Rankin and Associates Limited â€" outlined proâ€" posed plans for the expansion of Bronte Road into three lanes with the centre one being a continuous left turn lane. In addition, Burloak would be realigned and widened to six lanes, and a fourâ€"lane bridge would be conâ€" structed on Rebecca Street across Bronte Creek. The northern crossing recommended would connect Fairview Road in Burlington to Wyecroft Road in Oakville. This was the fourth public meeting addressing transportation changes in West Oakville, and based on the comâ€" ments from the residents, there is a great deal of opposition towards any expansion of Bronte Road. One of the reasons Sutherns gave for widening Bronte Road is to allow better access for emergency vehicles. "What data do you have that proves emergency vehicles require the widening of Bronte Road?" asked David Plumb, spokesperson for Bronte Citizens United. "We don‘t have our recommendaâ€" tions entirely on emergency service access," replied John Ghent, manager of current planning, Town of Oakville. "Bronte Road is classified as a minor arterial road and at its present two lanes, it doesn‘t serve its function ALGONQUIN SPAGE CAMPUS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!

A reason given for the centre turn lane is that it would be safer for peoâ€" ple living on Bronte Road to back out into the centre turn lane instead of norâ€" mal traffic lanes, which is the case today. "We polled our members who back out onto Bronte Road, and they feel they would rather wait for an opening in the traffic instead of pulling out into the middle lane while northbound trafâ€" fic is coming," said Plumb. "In reality, what happens is people pull out into the southbound lane and wait until traffic is clear going northâ€" bound," replied Sutherns. Charles Clayton â€" a resident who has been involved with the steering committee â€" asked if any real analysis has been done to show that three lanes would be better than two. "We have no analysis other than what we have already presented," answered Sutherns. If the south crossing is built at Rebecca Street, we feel Bronte Road should be expanded; otherwise, it would encourage more traffic along Rebecca to Third Line," said Roman Bandi, a member of the newlyâ€"formed Rebecca Street Residents Group. "We have a third lane on Rebecca, and we do find it to be safer. However, some people in our group still oppose the northerly crossing at Rebecca Street." "It‘s hard to please everyone, and I applaud the steering committee for their effort," said Ward 1 councillor Kevin Flynn. "The fire chief just wants room to get his fire trucks through. He doesn‘t care how. The problem for Bronte Road residents is the nearness of homes to the roadway. It was poor planning in the first place. The residents of Bronte Road feel that the present shoulders provide them with more safety than a middle lane." The next step will be a public meeting of the steering committee then, the steering committee will give Town Council its recommendations. #2022000202 ICE CREA M OPEN! 87 Brome Rd Oakvflle 825-8819 The Saturn "I want to know Saturn SL $189/month. $1444/d0. 36 months.
