CN officiais say they're trying to please residents atram RESIDENTS on page 1 want ta see the Niagara Escarpment." Tisere are only certain spots ta build an intermiodal facility and Milton's one of them, said Chris Taylor, manager of intermodal planning. "Theoe' s a myth going aound saying we saved a fortune buying agneculturai land instead of indus"ia land," ho sasd. "Agticsltural or industrial land wasn't significant in the total cost of the terminaal!, One resiclent saiçl ho didn't buy his home 15 yoars ago to have "crap" initia tfront yard. "Do you want tiis in your front yard?" he directed te CN officials., Mr. Taylor said he was aware somrtes"dents -would fie more affected titan others by the terminal and CN istrying to make sure the project works for everyone. "We've been Up front with what we're doing. We're not sneaking around in the back" One of the biggest problesCN is faein.g at the moment is the lack and definiion of a llueprint, Mr. Thomson said. **Hopefully we'Il have one sooner or later- Ans Environental Assessment (EA) screening, which is expected ta take three ta four months ta complote, should ha ready for July or August, hie added. "We're anticipating the (final) EA will ha done by September or October, depending on how the screening goes." Bemie and Maggie Fryers said they moved ta Milton ev- eral years ago for the peace and quiet of the town. "We went ta see the terminal when (the terminal develop- ment) was first announced," Ms Fryers told The Champion after the tour. "People in the town don't understand what's comsng." The "bad part" about the whole development is the Town had no say in the location, resident Sandra Campbell told TMe Champion. "We' re being victimized. It was here you go, live with it. It's not like they'oe building houses." Ms Post felt the tour was helpful for those who weren't familiar withintennodal terminais but ste herseif didn't ben- eflit from the provided information. "It didn't tell me anything 1 didn't already know," site said. -We ask questions and it's always 1 don't know, 1 haven't looked into it. We're left ta do the research ourselves."
