Fall Update
Fall Update
Earlier this year the Minister of Transportation wrote to ABC. ABC thought long and hard about what was being offered to us by the Minister of Transportation. (See letter at www.hwy7and8.blogspot.com )
A volunteer meeting to consider all options was held. As it was high season for agriculture in a difficult year, we asked for time to consider what the Minister was suggesting. ABC again did more research and had decided to refuse the Minister.
Before we took that final step we asked Mr. Wilkinson, MPP for advice about our response for the Minister. Mr. Wilkinson eventually facilitated a meeting to see if there was any common ground. The letter of Aug 1st is the result.
ABC has held meetings over the summer to try to identify the MTO next steps. At this time the selected route has not been confirmed.
We continue to stress the importance of retaining agricultural land and businesses and the potential impacts to our livelihoods that would result from restricted road access.
More recently we spoke with the MTO Regional Director for the study area about the issues.
A copy of the letter to the Minister of Transportation summarizing the meeting with ABC and MTO staff has been posted to the website.

Minister of Transportation Responds to PIC concerns
Earlier this spring, ABC responded to the March PIC deadline . At that time letters of concern were forwarded to both the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Transportation as the result of material sent to ABC by the consultants. The Minister of Transportation responded to our concerns and her letter is below. ABC called a volunteer meeting at that point to discuss possible responses. Any strategy or direction we finally take will be vetted by the volunteers and the Executive of ABC. The response sent back to the Minister is further down this page.
