“Unavoidable delays"stall arena Continued from page 1 ing the town if the Acton quarry dump proposal should go to a full- blown environmental hearing. Word on the possibility of a hear- ing is expected early this fall. If a hearing is necessary, it’s possible that some large capital projects, such as the arena, will be further delayed. One man stated: “I don’t think we’re getting any closer to getting But Shepard replied that town staff has found it “just as aggravat- ing” when faced with the unavoid- able delays which come from hav- ing to meet requirements from other agencies. . Watch for guards Continued from page 1 motorists,” he added. Locally, the crossing guard pro gram is aa by the Tow of Halton Hill: “The routain has proven its necessity over the years,” said town administrator Dan Costea. “It’s as needed now as it ever has been.” Costea requests that drivers adhere to the adult crossing guards and watch for the kids. “The Safety of the children is our number one priority without any doubt or any question,” stressed Costea. Costea doesn’t believe the prob- lem of traffic not stopping for the guards has increased in the last five years. He thinks that most people the traffic rules and regulations but need to pay more attention. “Some drivers get impatient and try to ignore the crossing guards to make a little time,” Costea said. The problem seems worse on a busy corner. Sgt. Martin said Halton Regional Police are “committed to support- ing our crossing guards by vigor- ously investigating and prosecuting incidents” where crossing guards are ii Drivers who do ignore crossing guards face a $78.75 fine and two demerit points on their license.

The recreation director said town staff “did everything they could to remain objective on this (the report).” “We hear your frustra- tions, but we’re under a lot of regu- lations from other agencies,” he added. Shepard said “costs and time delays cannot be hidden” in his Teport to council, which will decide where the arena will be built. He pledged that comments from the Arena Users Group and area resi- dents will be considered before he drafts his final report to council. Gord Chapman, a spokesman for the Group, told the crowd that a tesponse from the organization will be prepared within the next few weeks and passed along to Shepard. Because of servicing costs and other requirements, the Prospect Park site will be about $1 million cheaper than the other locations under consideration, the report to council indicated. The same outline of proposed costs, over and above the $4.1 million capital costs allo- cated for construction of the arena, was distributed to the close to 50 people attending last week’s infor- mation meeting. ° The meeting was held to gain input from members of the Acton Arena Users Group and the general public before a final report on site selection is presented to council, September 21.
