Contact your Regional Councillor

The Waterloo Region steering committee in charge of overseeing the development of the Hidden Valley to River Road extension will report back to Regional Council some time in 2012. Part of that report will be a comparison of the three alternatives to Alternative 4c that Council directed the Steering Committee to prepare.
 
In preparation for the next public open house we urge you to contact Chairman Ken Seiling and the councillors for your city. If you do not have time to write councillors individually, then in your letter to Mr. Seiling include the phrase "Please distribute this letter to all Regional Councillors".
 
In your letter could you please try to make some or all of the following points:
  • The road must not intrude on the habitat of the Jefferson Salamander, including the travelling distance from the locations where the species was found.
  • If the decision is made to build a bridge over Highway 8, then the road needs to have a sharp curve before the entry to the bridge over Hwy #8 so that traffic is slowed down before approaching King Street.
  • The planknown as Alternative 4c that was approved in 2007 which will eliminate about 15 acres of wonderful hardwood forest on the east side of ESPA 27 is NOT ACCEPTABLE from an environmental point of view nor is it acceptable from a cost viewpoint.
  • The new entrance to Hwy #8 should be moved to either Fairway Road or some 250 metres up Hidden Valley Road closer to Fairway Road.
