S un d a y, J u n e 4, 2 0 0 0 O a k v il le B e a v e r W e e k e n d 5 H a lto n By Irene Gentle SPECIAL TO T H E BEAVER C o u n c il v e to e s He argued that some North Halton residents have a tough time accessing services located largely in the more populous southern parts of the region. `T h e services are in the south and the people in the north want to get to them," said Day. He hinted that if the situation were reversed, some form of transit would already be in place. That drew the ire of Oakville Mayor Ann Mulvale. "We fund services where the people are," she said. "I think some of this dialogue is getting a little unproductive." Day's motion was supported r e g io n a l t r a n s it A Regionally run transit system has already been looked at and rejected in the past, said Burlington Councillor Linda Schreiber. "Before we spend a lot of time on this, I think we should be realistic about what the Region's role is," she said. s y s te m A second attempt to initiate a region-wide transit review was nixed by Halton Council last week. Previously, the health and social services committee also put the brakes on a motion by Halton Hills Councillor John Day to look at a regional transit system. Day linked the issue to a staff report on the working poor, arguing that a lack o f inter regional transit links are a stum bling block to the impoverished, students and seniors. by Milton Councillor Rick Malboeuf, who noted the initia tive doesn't promise a transit service will be forthcoming. "It simply asks us to look at it," he said. "It does not commit us to dollars. It doesn't commit us to a plan." But any hint that the Region is looking at taking on a Haltonwide transit service is a mistake, said Mulvale. "Be careful, my friends, with what you are doing," she said. `T o suggest in any way that w e're taking a baby step towards a regional transit sys tem -- not on the backs of Oakville taxpayers." It's likely too early to think about an interconnected Halton system, agreed Planning Director Pat Murphy. "You really have to have the basics there first," said Mr. Murphy. "You don't have those yet. It's premature to work on a systematic level now." iu S J x tfe y S m a rt P e op le B u y from M astercraft S h u tte rs__ ~t--i A A 30% OFF Blinds Mastercraft Shutters creates custom-made shutters and Window Coverings in every form, shape and size imaginable.
