Hi Kim,
It was very nice meeting you last night I really enjoyed it. Here is your quote...
[quote]So, I've had a chance to review the Regional Offical Plan section on Transportation and now I am even more confused. What ammendment would you propose that would accelerate construction of Britannia? The region official plan is a big picture document on how transportation should be delivered as a whole with nothing that would impact the timeline of a specific project. Also, I took a look at the Oakville official plan and it contains nothing on scheduling of road widenings either, so I don't understand your reference to an Oakville ammendment to their official plan used to affect road scheduling?
On implementation of photo radar cameras, given that the province has declined both Ottawa and Mississauga's requests in the recent past why not better spend the dollar and manpower resources and instead look at the root of the problem which is the design of the roads themselves? Given our tax dollars are at a premium, wouldn't funds be best spent on implementing traffic calming devices like local narrowing, traffic circles, and other similar structures that address the root cause of speeding instead of a project that would have a low probability of successful implementation? [End Quote]
First off I want to thank you Kim for looking deeper into my thoughts and plans. If we had 10 thousand more voters like yourself it would be great for Milton, and our country which I love like you.
1) Last night I began talking directly to the candidates running for wards 1,6,7 and 8. Sharon Martin Andrew Mike Maqsood Rick Marshall Paul Jeff and Zeeshan. I hope they are reading this right now. This post is for them as much as it is for you and the readers. The way to fix our gridlock problems is to change our official plan. No Amendment Kim. Change the Official Plan. Oakville changed theirs so can we to CHANGE our arrangement with the developers.
2) Speeding Cameras. I want them and so do many people in the new area. I agree with you regarding traffic calming which many of the candidates in the new area have signed on. I am with them and will if elected request traffic calming AND speeding cameras.
Kindest Regards,
Tony Lambert
Local/Regional Councillor Candidate
Wards 1,6,7 and 8
