| Post subject: | Derry Road underpass |
Just wanted to let everyone know that thanks to the hundreds of emails sent by Milton residents and hawthornevillager members, my request to accelerate this project has been included in the 2010 budget presentation which was presented today to bring forward the engineering and design work to be tender ready from 2014 to 2010 at a cost of $ 2.4 million with the construction work which takes about 18 months to complete from 2016 to 2012 at a cost of $ 20.6 million. Regional council will be considering all the budget submissions and recommendations over the next three weeks and have final approval at the Regional Council on Wednesday Decemeber 16th. You can see the details of the staff recommendations at www.halton.ca and in Friday's Champion. Council also today finalized some of the details of the engineering work for the widening of Tremaine Road to Main St. W. to start that process in early 2010 and the completion of the widening of Derry road from Bronte to Tremaine Road and the detour around the CN line within the next few months to allow the underpass construction to start. Chair Carr and the public works staff have been working closely with the Town and I to bring this project forward due to the growth of the Harrison and Scott neighbourhoods and increased traffic along Derry road. The Town will be announcing its staff recommendations next week and I will be posting more information on both budgets in the near future.

So what you are saying Colin is that the underpass work will begin sometime in 2010 (any date yet?) and should be completed by 2012? |

Agreed - efforts like this don't go unnoticed. The sticky note at the door is a great idea! Good work! |

| Post subject: | Re: Good News for Residents |
I think Colin is great, but a few facts: * Not being an active member of Hawthorne Villager doesn't mean you aren't working for the residents of the community. There are tons of people in Milton that will never end up coming on here, some not even on the intarweb (Membership is ~5K) * Colin is a regional & municipal councilor. This overpass (as I understand it) is a regional issue. The Milton regional reps would be Mayor Krantz Barry Lee and Colin Best sandmanD42 wrote: My only Question is why we only have one Milton Councillor working for the residents on this important issue?
It seems that Colin is the only Councillor that works for the residents. D |

Thank you Colin for your hard work, and this is how councillors should be working, listening to the people, but we couldn't have done this without zhamid and his hard work as well. Congrats guys! Good to have you both in Milton!
