Plan will review use of two harbors (Continued from page 1) wholesale changes. After all, he said the "nutshell conclusion" of the questionnaires is that the public â€" including an increasing number of nonâ€"boaters â€" likes the harbours just the way they are. Still, there remain several issues which must be addressed. Not the least of which involves the proliferaâ€" tion of geese in the areas and their resulting waste. In conjunction with this, much of the Master Plan will deal with the overall beautification of the harbours and reâ€"utilization of existing buildings. (The Authority is adamant no new structures will be allowed.) Ideas under consideration include the establishment of a safer boat launch at Coronation Park to accomâ€" modate small, recreational boaters and remove some of the congestion from the two harbours.

Kyle said it might be leased or rentâ€" ed out to service clubs and residents groups or used for a variety of other functions. The old water treatment plant formerly occupied by the Oakville Racing Canoe Club could then be used as the Authority‘s maintenance facility. Shipyard Park and the adjacent parking lot will also be given a careâ€" ful review. The area at the end of the Sixteen Mile Creek on the west side of the harbor will also be examined as a possible dinghy launch site or location for windsurfers. Kyle explained that while it‘s difâ€" ficult to quantify the number of visiâ€" tors to Oakville‘s harbours, the Authority will nonetheless try to determine their impact on the local economy. This could be substantial considering what statistics are availâ€" able. The Oakville Yacht Squadron, for example, hosted 800 visitorâ€" nights last year and 200 guest sail Expect more from Sears boats in addition to those appearing for regattas. The spillâ€"over effect for local restaurants and stores could be very beneficial. "The Authority is very much aware of that and wants to enhance the appeal of Oakville for sailors," explained Kyle, who said Oakville‘s harbours have been a model for many other communities. Oakville‘s two harbors and their environs are supported by boaters and their docking charges. (This includes private security and dredgâ€" ing.) Any capital projects â€" such as the proposed interim floating docks near the Outer Bronte Harbour â€" would be drawn from a reserve fund then replenished from these fees. The Authority‘s jurisdiction extends east and west up the banks of the Twelve and Sixteen Mile Creeks to the first lots, south to the lake and north of the QEW. Its manâ€" date also extends along the lakeâ€" front. From 1989 to 1991 the Town of Oakville, in conjunction with the Region of Halton and the City of Burlington, carried out a comprehensive planning study which culminated in the preparation and approval of the Burloak Secondary Plan and required Official Plan Amendments. The transportation component identified the need for the following major transportation facilities south of the QEW (see below): * a new northerly crossing of the Twelve Mile Creek * a new southerly crossing of the Twelve Mile Creek e _ the widening and realignment of Burloak Drive north of Rebecca Street and a grade separation at the CN tracks. CURRENT STUDY In April 1993, the Town of Oakville, in conjunction with the City of Burlington, commenced a study of these facilities in accordance with the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Road Projects. On June 24, 1993, a public meeting was held to review the study approach, updated transportation analysis and alternative solutions. On November 4, 1993, a public meeting was held to review the alternative alignments (see below). JANUARY 29, 1994 PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE/WORKSHOP In order to provide the opportunity for members of the public, landowners and technical agencies to review the technical analysis and preliminary technical evaluation, a public open house/workshop has been arranged for SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1994 9:00 A.M.
