EGLINTON WEST SUBWAY EXTENSION â€" On P..= 0 August 25th, I attended the official sod turning 1| _ ceremony for the above project together with Premier §\%§ > : Rae, Metro Chairman Alan Tonks, Mayor Fergy Brown ___ & m and other guests. Although Weston is not on the line, MV w BWB â€" there is no question that the subway and its link to the & A GO Transit Station at Weston Road and Eglinton :" Avenue and its future connection to Pearson 9 94, 2 International Airport, will have a major and positive economic impact on the entire west end of the city. FEDERALâ€"PROVINCIALâ€"MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM â€" On August 24th, the Province and Federal Governments announced the approval of various projects for the City of York â€" these include construction of a new library and renovation to the City‘s Health Unit Facility â€" both on Oakwood Avenue. In Weston, the sand floor in the Weston Arena will be replaced with a concrete floor. As well, the water service in the Church Streetâ€"Robert Street block is being upgraded after which Robert Street will be repaved in the latter part of September. John Street between Rosemount Avenue and Weston Road has just been repaved. PARKS â€" The new TOT facility has been installed at Elm Park and the rest of the upgrade will be completed by mid September. Equipment has been added to Grattan Park. Improvements have been made to the Church Street and Lawrence Avenue west entrances to Cruickshank Park this fall. NEW BUSINESSES â€" I was pleased to participate in the following recent official openings: Shoppers Drug Mart, New Health Centre facility at 1995 Weston Road on July 25th. BIWAY‘s newest store â€" in the old Loblaws store on Weston‘s main street. I am also pleased to advise that bids are being requested for an historic Weston Streetscape Mural to be installed on the front facade of the BI WAY store. In these tough economic times, it is encouraging that Weston has two, new vibrant businesses. ; YORK WEST SENIORS CENTRE â€" I spoke on behalf of a $60,000 city grant application by the York West Senior Centre for capital improvements to its facilities at 1901 Weston Road and this was granted by Council at its July meeting. Pending a new facility, these funds will be used for long overdue and much needed improvements to the existing centre. “5;13%‘7\ â€" so . Aeaeee AÂ¥ se . ce . t tm . . e o o. s ieant & e se n . se i.
