Salari asked the Town to be "sensitive" to the Bronte BIA and its members, as it has been to the Downtown Oakville BIA and Kerr Street Merchants' Association in the past. Ward 1 Councillor Ralph Robinson won council's support on his motion to work with the Bronte BIA on mitigating the effects of the temporary road closure on the village. The construction work can't be done with the road open because much of it is underground work. Similar work was done on Bronte Road, north of Rebecca Street last year, but the Town did learn some lessons. For example, while openings were left for local traffic and emergency vehicles, other traffic used the route. "It became quite a problem for the contractor to carry out the construction and deal with the traffic," reported public works manager of Design & Construction Dan Cozzi. "This year, it's planned to physically close off Bronte Road to southbound traffic just south of Rebecca Street and for northbound traffic just north of Sovereign Street." report ed Cozzi. Area residents will be asked to access their homes from Hixon or Belyea streets, said Cozzi. "This plan would eliminate vehicles from ignoring the closure signs, will improve site safety and will assist in expe diting the construction," reported Cozzi. By Angela Blackburn OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF The Bronte Radial Bridge may have opened last week, but motorists thinking they're in for a break have been dis appointed this week. That's because Bronte Road -- from Rebecca to Sovereign streets -- closed to traffic Monday and will remain off limits until Nov. 23. It's the last leg of the $10 million bridge construction project that has included not just the bridge, but also reconstruction of much of Bronte Road and Rebecca Street in the vicinity of the bridge. The bridge's opening is supposed to mitigate the effects of the closure of this stretch of Bronte Road by providing an alternate route for motorists. However, the Bronte BIA was at Town council last week to say that its member merchants have had just about enough of the more than year of construction -- work that's been intensified thanks to reconstruction work by Halton Region further west on both Rebecca Street and Lakeshore Road West. "The Village of Bronte has been under a virtual siege of road construction for the past year," complained Bronte BIA chair Kerry Salari. And now, just like last year's closure of Bronte Road north of Rebecca Street, the village will have to endure another road closure in the midst of its most important sell ing season, said Salari. The Bronte BIA knew of the construction, but not neces sarily the timing of its various components. It was suggested that winter and early spring would have been better times for the road closures. "Parking is not a problem if people can get there," said Salari, charging that the Town was even selecting detour routes that would take traffic to Bronte Village's main com petitors -- Hopedale Mall on Rebecca Street and Appleby Mall in Burlington. Bronte BIA executive director Liz Behrens said she and her counterpart weren't asking the Town not to close the road, but to work with the BIA. "We're here to put you on notice that the Village, particu larly its merchants, are going to need your help in order to survive," said Behrens, noting the closure is coming at a time Real Teachers can help. Real Teachers provides high school entry level math instruction in line with current O ntario curriculum, taught by provincially certified teachers. W e have designed our program to strike the right balance between in d iv id u a l a tte n tio n and a c ce ssib le pricing. O ur only goal is to deliver consistent improvement in your child's scholastic performance. You can't do it alone. Getting involved in assign ments and study at home is essential. But even if you understand high school math, are you the right person to teach it? And if you are expe riencing consistent resistance, are you running the risk of alienating your child, both from learning and from you? Police destroy 800 firearms More than 800 firearms seized by Halton Regional Police are no more. The weapons, which were collected by police over the past seven months, were recently destroyed at an undis closed location. They included long guns, such as rifles and shotguns, as well as about 300 handguns. While many of these guns were turned in 'f y owners complying with new firearm regula tions, others were seized through criminal investigations and disposed of to meet the terms of a judge's court order. There are several methods of destroying the guns. Most commonly they are melted down or chopped into pieces. A police officer is present at all times to ensure their complete destruction, since both processes are designed to ensure the weapons are completely inoperable. Introducing Real Teachers. There are probably a number of tutoring opportunities worth Real Teachers can help. But unlike your child's current classroom , our numbers are limited.
