"I think we should recognize that the Halton Urban Structure Review's needs should be addressed and identi- fied." The HUSR study focusses on long-term growth planning for Milton and north Oakville.

Pomeroy cautioned the committee that only projects which were at the implementation stage would likely be considered. The finalized HUSR plan will not be presented to council until the early spring. "I hope we can work hom this list to a shorter list," said Pomeroy. "We must prioritize and work with local Members of Parliament to help set this up." "We have to work very quickly," said Burlington mayor Walter Mulkewich. "Criteria will likely involve partnerships with the private sector. Whatever is to be done, it will involve the province, as well as, the federal government. There are real opportunities here, and we should be in a position to access them." SHERIDAN SUNDAY.
