Roadwork fast-tracked thanks to provincial cash Continued from pg. 1 That road was not on the reconstruction schedule until 2009. Funding of $730,000 will come from another provincial program, called Move Ontario. Henry said he plans to meet Halton Region representatives this week to discuss retaining a consulting engineering firm for pre-engineering, surveying and design. Construction would then follow in 2007. Halton Region would install watermain and wastewater main at the same time. Plus, Vimy Street, the access road to Superior Glove, would be resurfaced as it is showing signs of deterioration. Wards 1 and 2 Regional Councillor Clark Somerville said he is looking forward to approving the engineering department's request for a consulting firm at the next council meeting, because the work on Main St. S. is long overdue. It's the gateway into Acton, Somerville said, but it's in horrible condition, calling it nothing more than a `goat path' in previous council meetings. "I glad we got the dollars from Connecting Link to do the Guelph St. and Mountainview Rd. intersection, and now we can move forward on the Main St. S. project," he said. The Town's total Move Ontario allocation was $1.02 million. The first priority for the money goes to the Main St. reconstruction in Georgetown, from Church St. to Guelph St., which is scheduled for 2007. Total cost of that project is $1.2 million, with $400,000 coming from Move Ontario fund.
