Chronicle Staft A decision by Waterloo Council to ignore the recommendations of a planning report and opt for the ‘"secondâ€"best choice" hbhas restored faith in municipal governmentâ€"at least for a number of Colonial Acres‘ homeowners. The ‘‘secondâ€"best choice‘"‘ was adopted to calm neighborhood concerns about a possible increase in traffic that may have been created by a street link between Grant Crescent in the Colonial Acres subdivision and Old Abbey Road in a proposed 110â€"lot subdivision south of Wissler Road and west of Eastgate Walk. And despite a planning report that recommended the ‘"circuitous" link, council opted for an alternate plan which shows an emergency access between Colonial Acres and the proposed subdiviâ€" sion. The decision sparked a round of applause by the approximately 40 homeowners in the city‘s council chambers Monday night; many are friends and neighbors of Colonial Acres residents who to Although local construction has temporarily disrupted the flow of traffic, the purpose of the work in the long run is to improve the flow of something other than cars â€" the city‘s water supâ€" ply. The majority of the work the region is doing in Waterloo stems from a water storage and pumping study that the city did in 1985. € "There were quite a few recommendations to improve the flow of water into the city, and most of these projects are directly related to the study," said Bill Pyatt, Director of Design and Construcâ€" tion for the region.

We can support the compromise position but certainly cannot recommend it over the other," he said. Prior to the vote, city engineer Jim Willis said his department could support the "second choice‘", but would not recommend it. Colonial Acres Home Owners Association chairâ€" man Daryl Schnurr called the solution the ‘"obvious" one. *"‘The compromise solution is reasonable and is the only alternative that will satisfy all parties." _ Kraus Holdings Limited, the developer of the proposed subdivision, had no objection to the compromise position.
