Some residents were alarmed at potential moad widenings in Ibeir neighborhoods. Sherry Bain, a representative of the South Iroquois Ridge Society, appeared before committee to ask tbe region 10 keep its banda off of ber Oakville neigbborbood. Sbe was particularly concerned about possible widening of Oakvillc's Upper Middle Road, whicb is classified in the report as a major arIeris! road. "There's an awful lot of shocked people seeing what's in this report for tbe liraI lime," said Ms Bain. "I don't think it's fair." After being received for information aI committee level, tbe draft report is scbcd- uled to make a pit stop at aIl four munici- pal councils in April. A final report will corne back bo commit- tee in late May. Wilbout tbe report tbe region wiIl not be able to apply development charges to road work, explained Halton's finance guru Joe Rinaldo. Tht report provides thetlechnical infor- mation needed for tbe region tu replace current by-laws, which expire tbis sum- mer, he said. "Your by-laws expire Auguat 31, peri- od," Mr. Rinaldo advised commiîtee. 'There is no mecbanism to recover any- lbing for moads until you pass a new one." Passing the draft report doesn't mean that every projecî identified in it will corne to pass, assured the region's planning cbief Pat Murphy. "Tbhis provides tbe basis for long-îerm planning and dcvelopment charges," he said. "Wbat il does not say is that Upper Middle Road will be widened for certain." The report is meant 10 identify possible projects. Eacb one would then bave to go lbrough extensive cnvironmental assess- ments and public consultations before being widened, said Mr. Murphy. «This is not the end of tce procesa," he said. "Eacb road that needa to be widencd will have ils own public consultation."

"People care about what is going 10i hap- pen tomnorrow moming, and tIhe day afier thal, and the day after Ibal," be said. 'They don't care about 2016." Mr. BaIl was angered that Uic designa- tion given 10 Maple Street in Georgetown will not turn away thc gravel trucks that rumble along il cach day. "We have 2,000 children each morning being slowly asphyxiated on Maple Road but wc can't tell a gravel truck to go 2 kms out of its way," he said.
