But now railway looks to build industrîal park By Melanie Hennessey CANADIAN CHAMPION STAFF CN Rutl has announced its calling off its conîtoversial plans lu builci an intermodal facility in southern rural Milton, instead looking 10 develop the 350-plus hectare landcinto an industrnal park. At lasi week's regional council meet- ing, Richard Paton of CN informeci counicillors that "our intention is to nul builci an intermodal terminal" on ils properîy ihats generally frameci by Britannia andi Iremaîne roacis, I ower Base Line and Fîrst Line. "We would like to develop ibis landi into an industrial park ihaîs rail- served," said Paton. "We see a great need for rail-serveci industrial lands. There's a shoriage of those." The news comes about seven years afier the proposaI fîrsi surfaceci andi caused quire a stir in Milton. Wben asked by Wards 1 and 3 Councillor Barry Lee if an intermodal is a possîbîliîy in the future, Paton saic ibe doesn't foresee îî, but coulin't make a 100 per cent commîlment ihat it will neyer happen. Opposition group still eoneerned While cancellation of the intermodal plans ta the news that RAIL - or Residents Affecteci by Iniermodal Lînes - bal been waîîîng for, the group is sîill concemnec about wbaî may ulît- maîely end up on tbe properîy. "(The news) bas belpeci put an end to a lot of womres, but we're 001 jump- ing up andi down,- said Sandra Campbell of RAIL. "CN still owns the landi andi that worries me a bit. We don't wanî indusîry bere." She noîed ihat an indusînial park coulci bring about the same kind of truck traffic that would've been gener- ateci by an intermodal facihity. Regional Chair Gary Carr tolci the Champion that councti is pleased CN has finally let Halton know ils ien- nions. "Theres been a lot of concern about ibis,' hie saici, refenring back to a 6,000-name petition opposing the ntermodal that he delîvereci to Parliament Hill when sittnng as an MP CN has now asked the Region to mnclude its property when examining potential employment landis througb tbe Susiainable Halton process. The Sustainable Halion proposed growth concepts that have been put for- ward focus future emplovmenî lands, on about 600 hectares divided between Milton and Halton HiIls, mainly along Hwy. 401. The concepts wiIl be going out for public consultation soon. Melante He-nnesscy can lbc reached ai mhemîtesse-y@miltoncuinadiaîîchampion.dom.
