Reaction to Proposed Route for Highway In May, 1991, the Provincial Provincial Ministry of Transport announced announced a proposed routing for Hwy. 407 which they call "the technically preferred route." The 42 kms. that passes though Newcastle will consume thousands thousands of acres of prime farmland. farmland. At the time of the announcement, announcement, many residents - were dismayed and gravely concerned that a super highway highway was planned which would cut a swath through Newcastle and thereby change the nature and social fabric of the town forever. A committee of concerned concerned citizens was formed to make sure this didn't happen. Realizing that there was considerable opposition to this planned highway, the former mayor and council decided not to approve the recommendation recommendation of the town's planners .which supported the concept. It was also decided to hold an . open citizens' forum allowing ' the residents to have their say in this most important matter. "We commend Mayor Diane Hamre and the new council for keeping this promise promise by arranging a meeting on January 28th at the Tyrone Community Centre at 7:30 p.m. to hear what the residents and taxpayers have to say about this absurd Hwy. 407 plan," said Lynn Helpard, spokesman of the Committee of Concerned Citizens. "Over 200 residents have come to us expressing their outrage over this proposed highway project. They don't want to sec their town changed and they certainly certainly don't want some of the best farmland in Ontario paved over," added Helpard. "Our committee has carefully carefully examined the documents from the Ministry of Transportation, Transportation, their consultants and the planning departments and were have come to the conclusion that they are full of half truths and misinformation. In an effort effort to set the record straight and clearly present the residents' residents' point of view, the committee committee had prepared a detailed presentation which will be made at the January 28th citizens' citizens' meeting. It will challenge the arguments put forth by the Ministry of Transportation for the proposed southern route and cover items from agriculture agriculture to fisheries, from noise pollution to the cultural environment, environment, We believe that when the citizens' concerns and wishes wishes arc heard by the town Council Council that they will reject the proposed proposed Hwy. plan and require that changes be made." Hclpcrd added, "this meeting meeting is probably that most important important gathering of residents ever held in our town because it has the potential to set the course for how the town is to be administered and developed in the future. If we who live, work, farm itère do not make our thoughts on this highway crystal clear to the Council and the Province, then we will relinquish relinquish the decision making process to the bureaucracies and we might ns well accept what they plan for Newcastle which is to become jtist another another [tart of the sprawling Greater Toronto Area, "We sincerely hope that the residents realize that litis meeting meeting on January 28th at 7:30 p.m, at the Tyrone Community Centre is the best opportunity for all points of view on Hwy. 407 to be aired before our Mayor and councillors, Based on what we have heard from many people, there should be a very large and vocal turnout of Newcastle townsfolk," said Helpard, A Look Back at the Stories That Helped Shape Our Community Presenl Horticultural Charter trnm VOLUME 113 6 Pages BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18. 1067 15r Per Copy NUMBER 3 j^| p p Explains " e ^' 0n ^ ac ^ es tonale Equipment to Hospital What Happened 1 With Prudential by Alex Carruthrrs, M.I'.P. .cumvcnling the Ontario Sec* Durham juritics Act, which required 1 The rcicnt rallapsc nt Pru- that a prospectus of a com-' dentin] Finance, and the re-lpan/s financial praMon be) suiting concern on the part:filcel for notes of 305 days or of the investing public and ° v £[* • . .
