c economist suntribune environment v saturday jan 22 2000 9 region rejects call for bridge by patrick casey staff writer york regions transportation committee has rejected a suggestion to build a 16million bridge to save a dry gully in the jefferson forest that will soon comprise the bayview avenue extension a proposal to create the 45metre bridge 600 metres north of stouffville road was scaled down from an original suggestion to erect an 18fmetre- long bridge to completely span the valley however the cost of the massive bridge was pegged at more than 6 million and would increase the total cost of the extension to nearly 16 million but the committee rejected the idea of a bridge entirely opting instead for a box culvert measuring four metres wide and four metres high under the road aseparate standard drainage culvert is also proposed for storm water the two structures will cost a total of 350000 this doesnt necessarily kill the whole idea because it could come back during our budget process but it has been done on a purely econom ic basis we have to proceedwith the culvert and not the bridge said richmond hill mayorbill bell chairperson of the transportation committee i have concerns about filling the valley because once you fill it you cant empty it im sympathet ic much in the same way i am about freezing development on the oak ridges moraine but that costs money michael white vicepresident of the richmond hill naturalists said its wrong to replace a thriving area of trees grass flowers and shrubs with slabs of concrete i am a little disappointed that mr bell did not support us on this this was the least the commit tee could have done white said following the meeting the bayview extension is not even need ed at this time once covered with dirt the valley sides will not be reforested the concrete in a few years will be covered with paint inscriptions placed by unhappy youth instead of a beautiful archway that is part of the jefferson woods there will be a dark concrete hole under a huge embankment adding ugliness to inconvenience contributing to misunderstanding and fear of the woods this should be put on hold until we deal with all of the transportation problems in the region we need to take 30 per cent of the traffic off the road he added this is a case that will cost us an awful lot in the future meanwhile the region has plans to install an additional culvert with a dry earth bottom at the snively marsh area to allow frogs and toads to pass beneath the road a pair of culverts will be con structed between lake st george and lake wilcox to allow wildlife and water to pass beneath the roadway these are the luckiest universities in the country bishops laurentian st marys uwg brock mcgill trent waterloo carleton mcmaster ubc
