Hi everyone

Just to let you know the first public meeting regarding the Boyne Survey which is to be south of Louis St. Laurent Blvd. from James Snow Parkway to Tremaine Road down to Britannia Road will be held this Tuesday February 10th from 7 to 9 pm with a presentation at 8 pm in the banquet room at the rear of the Milton Sports Centre at Derry and Commercial Streets.

This meeting hosted by the Town Planning Department and consultants will have panels displaying the initial environmental, traffic, recreation, density and other planning concerns for the proposed 40,000 new resident neighbourhood which also includes plans for the 400 acre Education Village west of Tremaine Road just north of Britannia.

Check out Tim Foran's column in Friday's Champion and milton.ca under Boyne Survey for more details and the need for your input in Milton's future.

This plan affects both the hawthorne village and escarpment areas so residents at the south end of both areas near Louis St. Laurent Blvd. should attend and let the planners know what you want to see to the south of you.

The projected schedule for the plan is for a second public meeting later in the summer and approval of the secondary plan this October with construction scheduled to start in 2012-13 according to planners and builders estimates.

Just a reminder of this meeting.

If you cannot attend the meeting, the panel information has now been posted on Town web site milton.ca type in Boyne Survey at the site search icon and you can see a number of pages and areas of concern such as environmental, drainage, transit and roads.

There will be second meeting later this spring with more detailed options for the survey on the type and mix of uses, densities and interior parks and roads within the Boyne Survey and the Education Village.
