CGT suggests alternate route for Cornwall Road Dake said “considerable benefits” would be reaped by creating a “wow” in Cornwall Road through its lands (it would still enter and exit at the points recommended by Town stafl') and asked the Town for an eightâ€"week delay while both parties discussed the matter further. A report prepared by Town Manager of Design David Bloomer, however, took the wind out of CGT’s sails long before Dake even appeared. In it he explained that consideration of CGT’s plan would delay the project for two more years and outlined how the Town had already spent $4 million to expro- priate property from Pine Avenue resi- His response was in reaction to an appearance by Martin Dake of Project Planning Inc. who was on hand to pitch a rte-alignment of the controversial and much-delayed extension of Cornwall Road. In a bit of understatement, Dake said he was disappointed by the evening’s events. ‘This is not what we wanted to see,” he said, admitting that the full Council was unlikely to change its mind. . Having shut down its Oakville plant in 1991, Dake explained CGT is plan- ning medium density housing and comâ€" mercial uses for its property. The com- pany has a problem, however, with the route of the new road which Dake says will be a “significant barrier” between the existing residential neighborhood and CGT’s development. By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Stafl’ After all, last week’s Community Services Committee voted unanimously against CGT’s plan and gave a consul- tant representing the firm an earful to “I think it‘s a load of crap they’re shoving down our throat," said Ward 4 councillor Mark Brown. “As far as I’m concemcd, CGT can take their proposal and stuff it where the sun don’t shine."

Judy Hui Council votes Monday Brown said Council deferred the matter in May, giving CGT five months to discuss the matter. Eight more weeks, he believes, is merely a stalling tactic. Brown said he endorses the idea of Cornwall as barrier between residential and industrial land and scoffed at CGT’s proposal for medium density housing which would run homes light alongside industrial propeities. Next, Brown explained that an envi- ronmental clean-up of the land would be in order but - if the Town is given the right-of-way ‘- the municipality and not CGT would be on the hook for the bill. Brown explained that his heated remarks on Tuesday were the result of several concerns that rubbed him the wrong way. First off, when the Cornwall plan was established in 1982, CGT lob- bied against having the road traverse its lands. Now, says Brown, the company has changed its mind after $4 million of taxpayers’ money has been spent and people’s lives have been disrupted. dents who unwillingly had to sell their homes to the Town. “We perceive a moral obligation on the Town’s pan to follow through with the plan as originally approved and announced,” said Bloomer.
