Please mail to: Glen Oaks, 3164 9th Line, R.R. #1, Oakville L6J 4Z2 The Mid-Town Core Planning Study will be further fine- tuned starting today as the steering committee overseeing the plan discusses several outstanding issues. The group will convene to deal with the height and density standards for the Mid-Town Core area. According to Town plan­ ner Bruce Bellows, the steering committee will likely report back on its findings during the May 10th Planning and Development/Council meeting. On March 29th, Council adopted a by-law to approve Official Plan (OP) Amendment 163, subject to portions of the amendment which were deferred to further consideration. The OP amendment in question triggers the Mid-Town Core plan. Approval was delayed when councillors - most of whom are uneasy with the scheme in its entirety - voted in favour of the OP amendment but referred crucial portions of it back to the committee. In making her motion, Ward 2 councillor Kathy Graham explained that she was unable to truly understand the vision being presented - especially for an important area touted as a gateway into town. Fueling much of the uncertainty is Council's trepidation over a potential repeat of the high density Kanefif/Genstar pro­ jects to be built on Old Mill Road. The Mid-Town Core Study proposes an integrated trans­ portation and land use planning template for the Midtown Core. (This is essentially the area centrally located between Old Oakville and the Uptown Core with the QEW and Trafalgar Road as the main axis.) The most contentious part of the study's transportation com­ ponent has been the proposed QEW crossing connecting an extended Iroquois Shore Road to a bridge which spans the QEW to a reconstructed Royal Windsor Drive. Off in the future - and contingent on extensive analysis - might be a full interchange on the site. The transportation component has already been approved.

OP Amendment 163 incorporates both portions. North Oakville urban development meeting set for April 21st The Town of Oakville is holding the second in a series of public meetings soliciting input on its environmental study regarding future urban develop­ ment on land north of Regional Road No. 5. The meeting will take place April 21st in the Oakville Room of Town Hall starting at 7 p.m. Those attending will have a chance to review results of the draft report pre­ pared by consultants LGL Ltd. and The Planning Partnership. The Halton Urban Structure Plan has concluded that north Oakville lands south of Hwy. 407 are available for future development, subject to a variety of planning approvals. The Town's environmental study is one such review undertaken in connection with these lands. The purpose of the study is to address issues associated with integrat­ ing future urban development into these lands while maintaining and enhancing the existing environment whenever possible. "It is essential that individuals or groups from the area who are knowl­ edgeable about the land provide input into this environmental study," says Ward 4 councillor Jody Sanderson. "It's an opportunity for the public to assist with the Town's planning process as we head into a pivotal point in Oakville's growth." At a third meeting scheduled for May 26th in the Council chamber of Town Hall, the final report and recom­ mendations will be considered. These will be presented by the Town's con­ sultants. Ride 'N' Stride April 25th The Great Ride 'N' Stride for the Canadian Cancer Society, happening Sunday, April 25th -- rain or shine. The event starts 1 p.m., at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre. There is a 10-kilo­ metre course for cyclists and a 5-kilo­ metre route for walkers. All participants bringing a pledge sheet will be entered in a draw to win a bicycle. The first bike ride for cancer research was held on London, Ont., in 1971, and was billed as the Ladies Great Ride for Cancer. It featured women, and men dressed as women, in period cos­ tumes. Oakville's first Great Ride 'N' Stride for Cancer was held here in 1990. This year's co-ordinator is Liz Natale, who is hoping the event will grow in popularity and increase the money raised. As in past years, the Oakville Firefighters are challenging others to see who can raise the most money. Pledge sheets can be picked up at the Canadian Cancer Society, 635 Fourth Line, Unit 51, weekdays during busi­ ness hours, or call 845-5231. ♦ i http://www.cancer.ca
